Promote with Leviathan NewsA new crypto true-crime documentary centered on Malone Lam’s alleged roughly $230 million to $260 million Bitcoin theft is reported to be headed to Netflix, according to social media posts referencing the project. The underlying case involves Lam, a Singaporean national, and alleged co-conspirators accused by U.S. prosecutors of stealing more than 4,100 Bitcoin from a victim in Washington, D.C., then laundering the proceeds through mixers, exchanges, and other methods while spending heavily on luxury travel, cars, watches, and rentals. The reported documentary would add to Netflix’s existing slate of crypto-crime programming, following releases such as Biggest Heist Ever, which covered the Bitfinex hack and the laundering conviction of Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan. The broader significance is that the Lam case has become one of the best-known examples of large-scale social-engineering and crypto-account takeover fraud, and it underscores how true-crime media is increasingly focusing on major digital-asset thefts as they move through the courts.
