About this Episode
Jimmy Zhong was a computer science student who got involved with bitcoin in its early days. He mined a significant amount of bitcoin and used it to fund a lavish party lifestyle in college. Later, he discovered a vulnerability on the dark web marketplace Silk Road that allowed him to steal around $13 million worth of bitcoin. He hid this bitcoin and its value grew to $3.8 billion over time. Years later, the FBI investigated Zhong and were able to seize the stolen bitcoin, which helped them recover funds from the convicted Silk Road founder. Zhong served a year in prison and now works as a rideshare driver.

You know what you guys should do, for like an April Fools episode or even for no reason other than comedy; You should have your wives do an episode by themselves.

Not Abigail waiting for the two golden retriever boys patiently for 90% of the episode

Wow, congrats on the 200th episode!! Amazing! Had to come back and finish the episode later, because I got distracted doing some research from something Tib said. Turned out to be a red herring. (JLIMM) Patron supporters will now all expect to be given a spot on the show. I like it!

Congratulations on 200 episodes!

I listened to the first 31 minutes of this on my way into work and learned that: 1. Jimmy Zhong was caught in a Bitcoin heist/crime 2. Jimmy Zhong worked on Bitcoin in its early stages I'm not complaining though because now I also know how to defend myself from time-traveling bullies.
