Netflix's intro explains: "In this fast-paced, debaucherous documentary from doc director Bryan Storkel (producer of The Legend of Cocaine Island, and director of The Pez Outlaw), Ray Trapani himself guides viewers through the ups and downs of his dramatic journey, alongside his family, former friends, and the journalist who exposed Centra Tech as the first high-profile fraud case of the crypto era."
