In December 2020, my world collapsed in the span of ten minutes. Hackers infiltrated my cell provider, executed a devastating theft, and siphoned away over 500 Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies—a staggering $31.5 million. What followed was a descent into chaos and an unflinching reckoning with trust, technology, and my own vulnerability. UNDERMINED rips open the story of my life, from humble beginnings as a computer nerd to a tech-savvy engineer, treasure hunter and crypto miner who amassed wealth beyond imagination—only to watch it vanish in an instant. This wasn’t just a financial loss; it was a personal unravelling. This book delves deeper than Bitcoin and hackers. It’s a raw and relentless exploration of how greed, innovation, and human error intersect in the volatile world of rapidly evolving technology. It’s about fighting back—suing one of the largest telecom companies in the world—and rediscovering strength in the face of unimaginable loss. UNDERMINED isn’t just a cautionary tale; it’s a journey of rebuilding, resilience, and finding clarity when everything you’ve built has been ripped away
