He grew up in Staten Island, New York and then New Jersey. He had this goal — I forget the exact numbers — but by 28 making X amount of money, by 38, this amount and 48, this amount. He ended up beating all those goals.”

“There’s tear gas being fired, there’s live rounds being fired. And in those moments, the adrenaline kicks in. And I’m not gonna lie and say I wasn’t scared, I wasn’t fearful. But just seeing my cameraman not let all the chaos get to him and just stay focused on the documentation of the violations and the war crimes and the attacks and beating up of old men in wheelchairs. In that moment I kind of shut out all the fear and just went into overdrive and started interviewing people in the mix of it all.”
Journalist @ahmedeldin speaks to Project Brazen about the risks of reporting in Israel and the occupied West Bank, and why he believes democratic governments and the Western media are partially responsible.

👉On the latest episode of Brazen Presents, Project Brazen co-founder @tomwrightasia talks with @zekefaux about his investigation into the wild world of crypto, and his new book on the subject, Number Go Up ⬆️
In 2021, cryptocurrency entered the mainstream. Investment funds were buying it, celebrities were endorsing it. But Zeke, an investigative reporter, couldn’t help questioning – what if it was all just a confidence game of epic proportions? In Number Go Up, he shares the story of his global quest to try and answer this question – and how, in 2022, he had a front row set when the bubble suddenly burst.
Zeke and Tom discuss some of the book’s crazy details and the ultra-wealthy characters he came across during his investigation, including former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, now on trial for fraud, conspiracy and money laundering, and so much more….
👉Number Go Up is out now, and available at all good bookshops.
💡Keen for more on the Sam Bankman-Fried saga? CRYPTO KINGPINS is the latest pod from USG Audio and Project Brazen, exploring the rivalry between him and Changpeng Zhao, the nomadic founder of Binance, and how it almost destroyed the entire crypto industry.
Listen to the pod, everywhere you listen to podcasts🎧
#SBF #NumberGoUp #CZ #CryptoKingPins
Once upon a time, there were two titans of the crypto industry: Sam Bankman-Fried, the child of Stanford professors and founder of FTX, and Changpeng Zhao, the nomadic founder of Binance. The pair were the faces of crypto, generating billion-dollar fortunes comparable to the likes of Elon Musk and Bill Gates. That is, until their rivalry threatened to burn the entire industry to the ground.
For years, the pair had waged a cold war as Sam fought to unseat Zhao, or CZ, and dominate the industry. Then, last year, CZ fired a warning shot: one that would send FTX into a downward spiral, and reveal a staggering $8bn fraud at the heart of Sam’s empire. Now, as Sam faces decades in prison, journalist Tom Wright has been investigating the hidden origins of his feud with CZ – starting with a key witness: CZ himself. From USG Audio and Project Brazen, #CryptoKingPins.
The first two episodes are dropping Tuesday, sept 19th, everywhere you get your podcasts. 🎧
