The Bitcoin Kid: How a Teenager Stole $45 Million in Crypto | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Cryptocurrency was created to remove middlemen from financial transactions and give people direct control over their money. But as Bitcoin grew into a global financial frontier, it also created new opportunities for cybercrime. At the center of this story is Josh Jones, one of the earliest Bitcoin investors, who woke up in 2020 to discover that $45 million had disappeared from his online wallet. Investigators traced the theft to a SIM-swap attack, a technique that exploits the human side of digital security rather than the blockchain itself. The trail led to Hamilton, Ontario, and to a teenager known as BLEEP. Alongside Sean Carr, a 22-year-old who joined him on the run, he became the focus of a months-long search involving false leads, a major spending spree, and a cross-border investigation led by Detective Samy Tarazi and the REACT cybercrime team. Blending the worlds of cryptocurrency, hacking and digital investigation, this is the story behind one of the largest cryptocurrency thefts from a single individual.
