FS34 - Bitconnect "Leader" Arrested, Bitmain IPO, North Korean Hackers

It’s time to sail the crypto waters again on our Friday Flagship! A Bitconnect “leader” gets arrested in India, the inventor of Bittorrent walks out after the Tron purchase, and we discuss some stories of middle men holding cryptocurrency hostage. Mining giant Bitmain is preparing for one of histories largest IPOs, the SEC denied Bitcoin ETFs (again), and Bakkt is finally getting ready to launch. Crypto around the world takes us to Australia where bills are getting easier to pay, and North Korea has its hackers focus on crypto.
