Imagine a crypto billionaire paying a supposed $4.5 million fee so he can marry a Hollywood star—and then hiring a celebrity lawyer to get the cash back when the romance fizzled.

The real-life cast features Justin Sun, a crypto titan known for elaborate publicity stunts; Jing Tian, a top Chinese actress who has crossed over into Hollywood; and Zhang Qihuai, a big-name lawyer who specializes in high-profile brawls.

Chaos creates opportunity. Few recognize it in the moment; even fewer are willing to write a large check before the dust settles. Former Goldman Sachs trader Michael Novogratz had no trouble writing the check. What he didn’t yet grasp in December 2022 was how consequential his contrarian, defensive bet would be.

That month, with crypto reeling from the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX empire and the bankruptcies rippling outward, Novogratz’s Galaxy committed $65 million to acquire a 160-acre bitcoin mining operation in Dickens County, a sparsely populated expanse of Texas about 330 miles northwest of Austin.
