We’re excited to announce that IRT Media Group is working with the team behind The Developer — a gripping documentary thriller that pulls back the curtain on one of the most significant and least-understood stories of our time: the hidden world of crypto crime.
About the Film
The Developer follows the extraordinary true story of the largest crypto heist in history — the Binance hack — and the shadowy ecosystem of ransomware, state-sponsored hacking, and financial cover-ups that surrounds it.
Director James Craig recently appeared on Times Radio with Ayesha Hazarika, revealing how major corporations are quietly factoring ransomware payments into their operating costs — deals that are never made public. He explains how North Korea has become one of the most prolific perpetrators of crypto theft, with heists running into the hundreds of millions, and why the Binance hack represents a watershed moment for the entire crypto industry.
The film is not just a crime story. It’s an investigation into the systems — financial, political, and technological — that allow this to happen on such a massive scale.

Our Role
IRT Media Group has been brought in to lead the social media campaign for The Developer’s November launch. Our campaign is built around three creative pillars:
- Deception — The lies hiding in plain sight: corporations, governments, and exchanges that know more than they’re saying
- Scale — The staggering numbers behind crypto crime and why the Binance heist changed everything
- The Misfits — The unlikely investigators, whistleblowers, and insiders who dared to follow the money
Using carefully timed content drops, platform-native storytelling, and a slow-reveal narrative strategy, we’re building audience intrigue week by week leading up to the full release.
