How traders on Minecraft moved their money offshore – DC Short II
🕑 Added 2025-04-03 16:38:08 +0000 UTCNo one asked for a "what if the Panama Papers happened in Minecraft?" video but I'm delivering one anyway.
A product of over 3 months of investigation, spanning over 300 pages of documents, interviews with 50 sources across four Minecraft servers, and consultations with several people working within the real-world financial sector (some of whom are also my patrons, so thanks to you all!), I'm very happy to be able to finally release The DC Short.
You can watch it here, on Patreon, ad-free.

Not me going ‘oh god this is reminding me of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis’ only for you to immediately make that comparison that in the next line 🤣. Jokes aside, this is absolutely fascinating and the extent of your research is truly commendable. Great video x

I'm not sure if it's funny or depressing how these kids are following historical precedents when they destroy their virtual economies.
