| 0:00.0 | Yo, yo, welcome to Crypto 101. The Average Consumers Guide to Cryptocurrency. This is Matthew |
| 0:04.7 | Aaron, and this is part two of the Gox saga. In our first part, we had on Mr. Brock Pierce |
| 0:11.0 | to talk about his plan to revive Mount Gox in an episode called Gox Rising. Brock feels that |
| 0:16.9 | Mount Gox is a stain on the crypto space. Also, he wants to compensate the victims of Mount |
| 0:22.3 | Gox's hack and make sure all the money gets returned to them. However, there's a lot of critics |
| 0:26.6 | in the crypto space that says that his focus on Mount Cox and his ambitions to revive it are a little |
| 0:33.7 | less than genuine. One of those people who have been investigating Mount Gox since the beginning since the hack 2014 is Mr. Kim Nielsen. Kim was a customer |
| 0:43.2 | of Mount Gawks and ever since the hack has painstakingly kept up with all of the information, |
| 0:48.6 | wrote blogs, and kept us all informed. Kim's on the show today to talk about some of the things |

| 1:34.6 | Kim Nilsen, investigator of the Mount Gox story and former Mount Gox customer. Welcome to Crypto |
| 1:40.4 | 101, sir. Thank you. Nice to be here. Kim, before we go into the Mount Gok's story |
| 1:44.7 | and the years of research that you have conducted about the losses, the revival, and the different |
| 1:50.4 | players' positions in this story. Let's learn a little bit about yourself. I'm basically a normal |
| 1:56.0 | software engineer. I live in Japan now. I moved here 10 years ago. I code by day, and a couple of years ago, I developed a hobby of Montcoc's investigation tricks. |
| 2:07.4 | Basically, as you started out saying, I was a customer at Montaux when Montaux went down, lost money there, got really, really annoyed, and figured that, you know what, I don't think the police are necessarily |
