Hello out there on
Speaker 2
the internet. I am Matthew Galt and this is Cyber Crypto and Crime. Crime and crypto. They go together like spreadsheets and tax evasion. When cryptocurrency hit the scene, it was according to its evangelists going to usher in a world decentralized currency that would free people from the shackles of oppressive central banks. It turns out it was a pretty great way to launder money. It was also the subject of the new book Red Team Blues, a novel from writer Corey Doctorow. In Red Team Blues, a 67 year old forensic accountant finds himself at the center of a crypto crime mystery that takes him from the heights of Silicon Valley to the depths of the tinderloin. He's with us here today to talk about it. Doctorow, in case you don't know, is the author of more than a dozen books and too many articles to count. He's currently blogging at craphound.com and you can still often see some pretty good threads of his on Twitter. Well, that lasts. Corey, thank you so much for coming on to the show today to talk about this book. Thank you, Matthew. If I may gently correct you. Oh, did I see your name wrong?
