Danny Gold: 本期节目讲述了尼日利亚男子Raymond Abbas，也就是Hushpuppi，及其犯罪团伙的故事。他们通过复杂的网络诈骗手段，骗取了数亿美元。迪拜警方在一次大规模行动中逮捕了Hushpuppi及其同伙，缴获了巨额现金、奢侈品和电子设备。Hushpuppi的犯罪手法包括商业邮件欺诈（BEC），他通过伪造邮件获取公司邮箱权限，然后诱导员工将资金转入其控制的账户。他的同伙充当‘钱骡’，将资金转换为比特币进行洗钱。Hushpuppi在社交媒体上炫耀奢华生活，最终成为其被捕的关键因素。 Sean Williams: 在节目中，我们还讨论了2015年前后纽约布鲁克林街头帮派利用比特币进行信用卡诈骗的现象。这些帮派成员通过购买被盗信用卡信息，制作假卡，然后购买奢侈品或礼品卡进行变现。这种新型诈骗模式利用了比特币的匿名性和便捷性，给执法带来了新的挑战。此外，我们还谈到了部分说唱歌手参与信用卡诈骗，并以此为题材创作歌曲的现象。
