“For as long as I can remember I was always trying to make a couple pennies.” That’s Ray Trapani, one of the co-founders of the crypto-currency company Centra Tech. In the premiere episode of Creating a Con: The Story of Bitconned, we hear the origin story of Ray, the guy who, in his own words, said, “I always wanted to be a criminal since I was a kid.” Was it destined in his nature? Or would this prolific con artist be shaped by his environment and the influences on his life from an early age?
