About the author

Sam Rogers

Sam’s plunge into the crypto world turned into a brutal farce when he fell for an absurdly obvious scam promising to double his investment. After being fleeced by a slick email con, Sam is left fuming and broke. His writing drips with anger and dark humor as he exposes the outrageous scams and ludicrous promises of the crypto world. His motto: “I didn’t just fall for a scam—I was sucker-punched by an entire industry. If you think crypto is a goldmine, just wait until you see how deep it can dig your grave.”
