Shattered Illusions

Valletta Preston believes in radical transparency. As an investigative journalist, she chases stories globally, loving her freedom, unapologetic about the people she exposes. She earns accolodaes for her talents while enjoying the company of many lovers worldwide. Now, the well funded mining initiative leads her to Crypto Billionaire Ricardo Salgado. He is convinced, at the heart of society's problems are global mining issues which he believes he can solve with his biometric Blockchain companies. With one billion people unaccounted for globally, he claims he can stop forced labor and grant identification, access to capital, land ownership and voting. But can a tech billionaire be trusted or is he just another person posing as a humanitarian while exploiting the people he claims to care about? Both disruptors- will Valletta and Ricardo anger the people controlling trillions of dollars in resources who have zero interest in changing the status quo? Is global aid being stolen by people claiming to help the voiceless? Will attempting to change the world order get them killed? Are transparency, accountability and justice just buzzwords or something people actually care about? Adventure and passion fuel this duo who subscribe to the George Orwell quote: "In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
