Two stars off an otherwise exceptional podcasts for the insufferable attempts at humor throughout by Alice. Please stop with the “zingers” that completely distract from the story.

Heard about this podcast on James O’Brien’s show. Fascinating tale, more of a personal / psychological drama than a business / crypto story. Very well narrated and many interviews with first party participants adding to the realism and enjoyment of the story.

Great Story
