| 0:00.0 | This is the hash podcast. |
| 0:11.5 | Stay informed with the latest on Bitcoin, ETH, the Metaverse, Web3, and more, |
| 0:16.1 | with stories that matter to the crypto world, all on the hash for your ears. |
| 0:22.0 | You're listening to the Coin Desk Podcast Network. |
| 0:26.0 | Happy Thursday. Welcome to the Hash. If you're watching on CoinDest TV, you are seeing Will Foxley's amazing puffer jacket. |
| 0:34.4 | It is immaculate and large and blue. It's a beautiful sight. That's Will. |
| 0:40.5 | We got Jensenassie, Adam Levine, me, Zach Seward. Let's get to it. Will has an update on the |
| 0:46.0 | FtX case. That's right. And this is my mountaineering jacket and it's because I have very, very cold |
| 0:51.4 | in this office today. It's absolutely freezing here, so I have to wear it. |
| 0:54.7 | Okay, we are talking about your boy, SBF. |

| 1:33.6 | to give these donations out, who they were giving the donations through during FDX or through |
| 1:38.8 | Almeda. It's a mess. It really is a mess, but it does shed some light into the actual, like, political functions within FTCX and within Almeida itself. Like, this was a fairly political organization. I'm going to throw this one over to Adam first. I want to get your take on it. Pretty interesting new findings this morning. I mean, I think that it's just the continued unraveling of a ball of yarn that we did not appreciate was quite as long as it has turned out to be. |
| 2:04.2 | Again, like a significant facade was put forward here if the allegations wind up being true, that as time goes on, we're just seeing is more and more and more wrong. |
| 2:15.9 | So like, it's not a good story. It's not a good piece of news here, |
