52:11Now PlayingJake Adelstein is a journalist and writer, known for works including Tokyo Vice (adapted into an HBO Max series), The Last Yakuza, and Tokyo Noir.
In his latest book, The Devil Takes Bitcoin, he pulls back the curtain on crypto’s criminal underworld, linking Bitcoin’s rise to dark web marketplaces like Silk Road, the collapse of Japan's Mt. Gox exchange, and the figures moving money through it all. It’s a deeper look at how organized crime, fraud, and digital currency collided behind the scenes.
