For millions of people, social media isn’t a source of entertainment or information, but a way to reinvent themselves. So what if you could stop being a loser of our economic system by winning the internet’s attention? Channel 4 reporter Symeon Brown talks to Justin Quirk about his book Get Rich or Lie Trying, his gripping expose of fraud, exploitation, misogyny, environmental destruction, and the dodgy financial traders of Instagram.

• “Anyone promising guaranteed returns is almost certainly a scammer.”
• “The Wolf of Wall Street is just hip hop in a film.”
• “Influencer traders rule the platforms, and the platforms are almost unable to respond.”
