The wild, true story of cyber-era commerce, crime, cold-hard cash, and one of the greatest heists in history. Even in hell, Bitcoin talks. This modern take on an old Japanese saying still holds true. Cryptocurrency was supposed to do for money what the internet did for information, but it didnâ ™t work out that way. Its virtual existence unleashed real-world chaos â ” especially in the homeland of its mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Tokyo was the centre of the worldâ ™s largest bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, until that company collapsed with nearly half a billion dollarsâ ™ worth of bitcoin gone missing. It might be the greatest heist in history. If it was a heist. So what really happened? Hereâ ™s the true story of the humble-to-hot commodity, from the former geek website that launched the boom to an inside world of absent-minded CEOs, hucksters, hackers, cybercrooks, drug dealers, corrupt federal agents, evangelical libertarians, and clueless techies. Youâ ™ll discover Bitcoinâ ™s connection to the infamous Silk Road, learn why hell has nothing on Japanâ ™s criminal justice system, and get the lowdown on the high cost of betting with the Devilâ ™s dollars.

The only real clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym “Truly, Devious.” It became one of the great unsolved crimes of American history. True-crime aficionado Stevie Bell is set to begin her first year at Ellingham Academy, and she has an ambitious plan: She will solve this cold case. That is, she will solve the case when she gets a grip on her demanding new school life and her housemates: the inventor, the novelist, the actor, the artist, and the jokester. But something strange is happening. Truly Devious makes a surprise return, and death revisits Ellingham Academy. The past has crawled out of its grave. Someone has gotten away with murder.
