Today's guests on the show are the authors of a new book about Craig Wright and his claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto. Mark Hunter and Arthur Van Pelt have followed this story from the very beginning and have been completely astounded by the saga's ten-year continuation.

Follow this story as it takes you on a journey through Craig's past life, his initial claim, and the fallout that has ensued ever since.
