    116. Detained execs, a bold escape, and tax evasion charges: Nigeria takes aim at Binance

    This week, Nigeria charged Binance and two of its executives with tax evasion in the latest twist in a month-long dispute between the cryptocurrency giant and the Nigerian government. Nigeria detained Binance’s regional manager and a former US federal agent for nearly a month after they flew to Abuja at the end of February to meet with officials there. Now, one executive has slipped away and the other has become a pawn.

A gem!

I’ve been a Dina Temple-Rastin fan since her NPR days, and the stories she and her team are exploring here have just reinforced my enthusiasm! Such a fascinating resource for understanding our modern cybersecurity landscape. You see the “Subscribe” button? I’d recommend that you go ahead and Click Here!

Criminal Mouthpiece

Really confused why this podcast, which up to this point was somewhat informative, but lacking depth or context, would decide to start publish unvarnished propaganda from one of the worst criminal networks in the world. They allow this guy, who started an online site that allows anyone to hold people, businesses, and governments for ransom, to paint himself as some sort of hero, Robin Hood type. Lionizing criminal gangs, especially one as dangerous as this one, is just disgusting.

A surprise, every time

The word “cybersecurity” may not sparkle with intrigue and interest for you, but trust me, this excellent podcast - which focuses on cyber espionage, misinformation, ransomware, and related issues - never fails to amaze. Temple-Raston is a superb journalist and host, with a voice pitched to soothe despite the scary stories she investigates. Great show. I look forward every week.
