The Antisocial Network by Ben Mezrich

A fast-paced investigative narrative about the rise and spectacular fall of a once-celebrated cryptocurrency empire, following a charismatic founder who projected a do-gooder image while customer deposits were secretly funneled to a trading firm staffed by friends; the book examines the insular culture, risky practices, opaque bookkeeping and personal loyalties that masked growing losses, the liquidity shock that exposed the fraud, and the legal and moral fallout as insiders cooperated with prosecutors and investors and regulators scrambled to contain the damage.
