This is Gotcha! A four-part series on scams, how they work, and how technology is supercharging them. We start with Mark Hays from Americans for Financial Reform (AFR), and get into one of the biggest tech-fuelled financial scams out there: cryptocurrencies.

What has crypto morphed into since then, and how does it deceive both consumers and regulators into thinking it’s something that it’s not?
