The 31-year-old, who is accused of laundering the stolen crypto, was also a Forbes contributor and a (pretty bad) amateur rapper. Molly Jane Zuckerman joins Connor to discuss this week's developments… and why it might actually be bullish for BTC.Connor and Molly Jane also discuss the firestorm surrounding Brantly Millegan.

Is Apple finally going to accept crypto payments? Are new Bitcoin investors still underwater after the world's biggest cryptocurrency surged to $45,000? Is Russia still planning to ban crypto? Why did the BBC cancel a documentary about a self-made crypto millionaire? And *how many* exchanges are planning to advertise at the Super Bowl? We'll tell you everything — including why SHIBA INU's price has surged over recent days.You can find us on Twitter — @ConnorSephton and @CoinMarketCap.
