Melonie Diaz, Tony Cavalero and Josh Brener also star in Cutter Hodierne’s account of a Robin Hood heist and the crypto criminal playing mind games with his assailants.

When Peaches’ “Fuck the Pain Away” blasted over the security system fails to intimidate the intruders — a serious WTF? moment — they soon locate and overpower Hegel. He lies about not having the cold wallets in the house, but eventually acquiesces under threat and contacts his assistant to have the contents of a safety deposit box in the Cayman Islands delivered to him by morning. However, moving that amount of cash risks alerting not only Hegel’s criminal associates but also the Feds.
