We hack into the mainframe and chip away bit by bit at the strange and mind-numbingly stupid story of the couple arrested in connection with the infamous 2016 Bitfinex hack. We detail their attempts at laundering close to $3.6 billion worth of coins, try to figure out how this happened, and wrestle with the confusing and weird un-reality of the internet's least favorite scammer: Razzlekhan.

Her going away to prison video which was posted 2 weeks ago at the time of this comment is truly bizarre. She just… didn’t change. At all. For 3 years

Weed

Heather is just Gail the snail

Noah

Thank you for your quick work making this pod

tMinozaJ

I live in abject horror of the day that Bitcoin crashes and Coindexter’s size balloons to Eldrich proportions

gill

liz has decent flow for a wite wimin!!!

Aaron L

I could be wrong but doesn’t the great MSJ have synesthesia? Lol

Char Kelly

Liz is a SONG BIRD, she should’ve sung the rap!

Isaiah C

"it's not cringe, it's something else" Yeah, it's dogshit. Her music is dogshit lol

Graham Hoese

He would burst out of whatever gumball machine he was robbing at the time

Evan Scott

I was going through her soundcloud and found a credit for the beat on one of her tracks, it was a very small time guy from my absolute shithole central pennsylvania hometown. I'm still baffled by that considering how much money she has?

lunchables

Plur meningitis and tumblr munchausens lmaoooo

Brian Long

Rap at the top of the ep is solid

Brian Long

“Totally random and loves cards against humanity” hahaha

Evan Scott

don't crucify me but also i kinda wonder if part of the discomfort and 'cringe transcendence' is kind of like a - she has a feel to her music that at points gets dangerously close to being like a shaggs or raincoats kinda thing. like it's not the same but i imagine a "normie" music listener wouldn't see a big difference (beside genre obviously) between razzlekahn and like the super dissonant exhalted 'weird' bands

Sam Sal

Brace telling us to kill ourselves for remembering something he did an entire episode on >>

Bryson Martinez

Kids don't be letting your "brooch" get took by the safisticated criminal that is coindexter

D.K. Wilson

Morgan, like the allegedly quirky people described, is a clown. Sober example of a synesthetic: Jimi Hendrix. Oddly… or not, I know someone who studies synesthesia - their master’s thesis focus concerned the prevalence of synesthesia among various ethnic groups. Like so much, synesthesia has been misrepresented to the point of trite meme ignorance… but hey, that’s Baudrillard’s America for ya (is Jean B. an ancient enough reference for today’s, Today People?)

Bleepblopp

She sounds like someone reading an okay rappers lyrics that they didn’t write. She doesn’t have the attitude or commitment to the bit to sell it so it doesn’t feel earnest, but it also doesn’t cross into cringe because there’s no false confidence since she’s “in” on the joke. Like if an established lower level rapper did these lyrics I probably wouldn’t question the quality. But she doesn’t have any swagger or presence so it’s just someone reading along.

Karen-Ethel

The moment you realize it’s all a grift. Everyone’s a grifter me, you, her. Is there a grift I can get behind? Robin Hood? (Not the trader shit) Maybe not - he probably was just trying to get laid. Humanity is the long con.

Fiddypea

Whenever there's one of these crypto stories, it always seems to end with Brace and Liz reassuring us, "no, you're not missing anything. Yes, it is as dumb as it sounds."

otis

Goddamn it, Brace. That was terrifying

Brendan Garcia

I swear Forbes magazine is always implicated after the fact with these financial crimes. It’s always, oops they used to write for us. Oops our senior editor worked for them. Oops we gave them a glowing profile last year that effectively launched them and institutionalized their fraud.

Brendan Garcia

Our man LaRouche was on that Dutch tip.

Brendan Garcia

I bet the black market is for Covid vaccine cards, more so than actual vaccines.

Grimmu

dutch is a great nickname i instantly think of arnie in predator

Nicolas

The word you were looking for is: AUTISTIC.

tMinozaJ

I imagine Metro Boomin wasn’t down for the collab

John Alexander

Dutch was ronald reagan's nickname, yes?

John Alexander

decentralized wallet called N-pass? sign me up

Bobby Volcano

Sounds like these bozos should have hooked up with the Haqqani network. You mention tech synergy at a Chicagoland high school--are you aware there is one Chicagoland public high school that gave the world web servers, web browsers, YouTube, paypal, yelp, and (most evil) okcupid?

IMSA the real heart of darkness

Titivilis

I don't think stealing crypto should even be illegal. What the hell are the feds doing policing that traffic?

Titivilis

When I think of dork ideology, I like to think of how Snowden was valorized, mainly because he was a spectacled white guy, while every other intelligence whistleblower saw the ass end of the memory hole. Even "civil liberties" is just another kind of identity politics.

Bobby Volcano

BruceInAdelaide

yes, he wanted people to think he was not of Irish descent

i lost it with WIGGY WIGGY

Jake Zydek

talkin bout Noah's arcade caliber rhymes here

O

can someone explain the gift card thing I’m thinking of picking up crime as a hobby

Bent Mind

Ummm these criminals need to fact. Check. Their. Rap. No evidence pangolin was intermediate species. IN FACT, been disproven.

John Swan

Talk a big game about drug use but he doesn’t believe in synesthesia. Starting to sound like Felix with the uninformed druggy performance. Or at least Brace was doing the boring drugs back in the early 2010s. Lmao.

CT

lol. That’d be more fitting than the actual reason why he was called Dutch.

SF

what

PLEUR-MENINGITIS 🔥🔥🔥

Lmao I have a few forms of synesthesia. Always have. Don't use drugs. It's nothing ethereal or magical. Sometimes it's kind of annoying. It can aggravate burn out. I suspect sometimes it can also help me focus on stimuli. If it were turned on in a non-synesthete they might find it somewhat intuitive. I just process all my senses in my mind's eye. And there are patterns that I think folks would find intuitive. A pinch to the skin is a pinkish point in my mental map of my body. A hint of sweet scent is a pinkish line through my mental map of my nasal tract. A high-pitched, shrill timbre is a thin and pinkish texture I imagine out in space toward the direction of the sound. Notice how these all involve a ... more focused/narrow approach on the senses. Other stimuli generate different colors/textures in my mind's eye.

K

And fuck no I don't want to be weird. That sucks. I'd love to be a normal person with normal possessions, normal dreams, and normal relationships. But anyway this chick Razzlekhan is so fucking cringe.

garf garfsson

my russia buddy when he buys drugs gets them in a similar dead drop way, he gets a lat long and then has to do a little treasure hunt for his weed or k

Laundry Sauce

There’s only 2 things in this world I can’t stand - those who are intolerant of other people’s cultures, and the Dutch.

Daniel Goffe

Hey @Trueanon . Please x10000000000 do a show on Canada Truckers because no one has done anything good yet. It’s a crazy subject I know, so it will take lots of research, but it’s a fascinating one. Thanks and Solidarity ✊🏻

Matt Norman

Jean Luc Brunel emergency episode?!???

Jonathan lees

Bett on two flys walking up a fuckin wall

Steev Hise

Sandy

Anyone got a source on that "treasure hunting" thing Brace mentioned? I find it deeply fascinating

John Barrett

Just waddling in to say about getting married in Culver City that I got married in LA in 2017 and the most in demand venue was in Culver City for some reason

Lulu

i need an episode on what's going on with the queen and if shes really been dead for months

J

The Razzlekhan youtube is insane

Lionel Boyd Johnson

How did you guys get through this nerd brain episode without Brace shooting himself in the head? Holy crap, I couldn't finish. I love Liz, but she goes whole hog on this Silicon Valley bullshit, which is obviously not kosher.

J

Shut up Karen.

pq

No one will ever convince me that this ep cover image isn't brace and liz

michaelkuca

woah it does look like them

Blake Patraw

i thought that guy looks like brace in a different universe lmao

Blake Patraw

dude he was a heroin addict not a fuckin "psychonaut" trust me opiates don't give you synesthesia or id be tasting blue all day

Night Zoo

She sounds like dollar store MC Paul Barman

Kirstwb
