Overview
Stephen Findeisen's channel investigates financial fraud, mainly in cryptocurrency and in the world of online "get rich" influencers: pump-and-dump token schemes, fake trading gurus, celebrity-endorsed coins, and the collapse of FTX, on which his coverage was among the earliest and most detailed. The videos are built from documents, on-chain records, and interviews, and he regularly confronts the people he is investigating on camera.
Notes
Investigative journalism done by one person with a microphone, and done better than most of the organisations whose job it is. Coffeezilla's method is the one I admire: follow the money, show your evidence, name the people, and let them respond. His work is also a running catalogue of the ways in which confident people separate others from their savings, and the patterns are the same ones found in pseudoscience (Homeopathy, Anti-Vaccine) and religion.
