| 0:13.5 | Former Bitcoin core developer Peter Todd telling CoinDest, quote, |
| 0:17.4 | Of course I'm not Satoshi Nakamoto, shortly before HBO documentary Money Electric, |
| 0:22.3 | the Bitcoin mystery, identified him as this anonymous creator of Bitcoin. The documentary's theory |

| 1:37.5 | application by Tigran Gambarian, a U.S. citizen and finance compliance officer has been stalled in |
| 1:43.3 | Nigeria due to the absence of the judge. |
| 1:46.7 | Although the ruling was scheduled to be delivered Wednesday, judges were reportedly attending an |
