1 (MALLET POUNDING) (SOFT MUSIC PLAYING) (CLATTER) (CLATTER) (DOOR OPENS) (ALL SPEAKING RUSSIAN) (GRUNTING) (STOVE HISSING) (GRIGORY GRUNTING) Aah! (DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES) (STOVE SHUTS OFF) (RASK) She had been bleeding for I guess I lost track of time.
How long does a person bleed for anyway? Oh pretty soon, it's gonna run out.
Or their heart will stop.
I don't recollect when that happened.
But I'm guessing pretty soon, uh, because Yeah, it was it was right to left, so it would have been on the left side of her head, the second blow.
I mean, the one that really (PEN SCRATCHING) Anyway, it put her down pretty quick.
But I'm I'm saying, I think it's the blood loss rather than the the actual impact.
(PEN SCRATCHING) And that is when you put her in a suitcase? Uh, no, I I wrapped her in visquine, and then I folded Visquine? What is visquine? It's a It's a thick plastic.
It's like a tarp Okay, okay.
Give me spelling of "visquine.
" - V-I - Just say plastic.
- Yeah, plastic's fine.
- (GRIGORY SPEAKING RUSSIAN) - Plastic.
- Prosto plastik.
Plastic? Does he even speak English? - He speak English.
- Good.
Continue.
Thank you.
- So I wrap her - Up in this plastic.
I got a suitcase out.
It was a Dunn & Wrigly.
- I love that brand.
- Okay.
Really sturdy brand.
I fit her whole body right into suitcase.
She didn't fit, so I, uh have to break ankles to make it fit.
(CLEARS THROAT) But she was small.
And that's when you drove to the river? No, I waited.
I made sure I'd cleaned everything first.
Bleach.
Hours I spent.
And then, yes, I took the suitcase to the river, b by the overpass.
(BOGDEN) What time would you say it was? This would have been 3:00 a.
m.
, 3:30, maybe.
I put, um I put hamburger meat in the water to attract the alligators.
I know it worked.
It's the last time I saw her.
Let me ask you a really fun question.
Yeah.
Why'd you do it? She was asking too many questions.
She was real go-getter.
You know? (CHAIR SCRAPES FLOOR) Good luck with that.
(CLEARS THROAT) Whew.
Even with a confession from Grigory we could easily make it you who is behind bars.
At any point, he could very well, um come to his senses and recant his story.
Well, I can name snitches.
I can look the other way while you do your real estate deals, but come on.
What do you need? Tell me.
- Nick Talman.
- What? I'm about to bring in some very high-profile investors to back GenCoin, but, uh there is still some baggage if anyone were to look into the money trail.
So you think Nick Talman should take the fall for his dad? (CUP CLINKS) (COMPUTER BEEPING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) And though the trouble's in the dark I will hold All the lights on you We give ourselves a shining start All alone All alone And all the roses turn to black And my heart is as cold as stone (NICK) Tell us what you need.
(RONALD) Yeah, we're here for you, girl.
You can't do nothing? Make it right? Just be here with your family, Izz.
Just be here with my family? They're gonna get away with it.
You guys don't believe me.
Izzy, I I don't think they're gonna get away They thought it was a gang! The cops said it was the wrong house.
They're gonna get away with it.
Izz, I don't think you understand what you're asking I know what I'm asking for, Ronnie.
That's why I'm asking you! Hey, Izz, just calm down.
Don't fucking do that.
Don't treat me like a kid! Let's all just I think we should have this conversation, but I think we should table it.
Need to be smart about this.
"Smart.
" (RONALD) Izz, you got us.
Obviously, I don't.
I think I'm gonna go.
I think we should go.
Go.
(NICK) You think we're in any kind of danger? It was a warning shot.
Just keep your head down some.
Okay.
Stay low.
It's gonna blow over soon.
All right.
Tell Tam I said hey.
For sure.
(CAR STARTS) (LAUGHTER) You really think they will? That's ridiculous.
Who gonna go over there? What, you don't believe me? Go walk by.
Hipsters lining up for $10 lattes.
Hipsters? From where? All them kids moving up here from Wynwood, Edgewater.
Cross 195, please.
You need to get out more.
(LAUGHTER, DOOR OPENS) Hey, baby.
Ladies.
I'm gonna get, uh, dinner started.
Your man cook for you? Once a week, he do.
- Ooh - (LAUGHTER) Hey, you ladies staying for dinner? Yes.
(ALL) Yes! Daddy! Oh, baby girl! There she is.
Mmm.
Wanna help your old man peel some spuds? Sure.
(MAN ON TV) the stock market posting historical highs.
Worries abound whether we've hit our high or when the bubble might burst.
The tech stocks and corporate earnings are what's driving this market.
(CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY) (POUNDING ON DOOR) (POUNDING CONTINUES) FBI, open up! Coming! I finally found that warrant.
Okay, go ahead.
(INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO CHATTER) (HANDCUFFS SNAPPING) (DISTANT SIREN) Money laundering, right? That's, what? A minimum of five years? I guess with what you took for your old man, judge is gonna hit you with, I'm guessing, 10 to 15? Yeah? What does what does partner-murdering carry? I still have that audio file from Daewon.
I can still let that go.
Good! You know what? Good.
Let that go, tweet about it for all I care.
'Cause there is a man in jail as of this morning.
He killed my partner, he's in prison for it now.
So, yeah, you let that go.
See where it gets you.
Don't threaten me, Nick.
In just three months, you've taken a simple peer to peer network and built it into a ubiquitous digital currency.
I think what we're seeing is the world is ready for a cryptocurrency based on pure commerce.
There's so little trust in government these days, so But do you think it's a little disconcerting to people that this sort of power is being wielded by what is essentially tech company? You have a board, you have investors.
How are people expected to place their full trust in a corporation like Axis? We want to continue using this momentum to do good.
- Sure, but - You know? I imagine people are wondering where you go from here.
Are there new plans on the horizon for GenCoin? We have a lot of exciting projects coming up really soon.
But what is the end goal, really? Can't really talk about it.
(CHUCKLING) Maybe just a hint? Uh No, I can't really, uh My board would be - They wouldn't be happy.
- All right.
Alex Bell, it's been a pleasure discussing GenCoin with you.
We're looking forward to what's next for you and your company, Axis.
(WIND WHIPPING) (SEAGULLS CALLING) (FLY BUZZING) (FLY BUZZING) (YAWNS) (GRUNTS SOFTLY) (WATER BUBBLING) When we were building GenCoin, going around asking these VCs for our first round, we got a lot of no's.
You know why? 'Cause we couldn't quite explain how to scale it.
I mean, none of these guys cared about disrupting the banks or changing the face of currency.
They all wanted to know how quickly would they make their money back.
- Okay.
- Uh I forget, you're a, um, a senior, at - Junior.
- Junior at FSU, okay.
I think we're not gonna mention that.
We'll say that you graduated from their school of computer engineering.
But I didn't.
It's okay, nobody's gonna check.
The two things we really have to be able to answer are, one, what makes this a better VR architecture program than any out there, and two, how quickly can this be a publicly traded company? Okay.
So those are the two questions to think about for next time.
Do you Are there meetings set up already with investors? Um, absolutely.
It's all in motion.
It's all in motion, Paul.
But don't worry about that.
Let me worry about that.
You worry about those two things.
Okay.
Oh, I didn't pay.
It's okay, I got it.
My pleasure.
- Okay.
Thanks.
- Paul.
Thank you.
My my absolute pleasure.
Be well, think about those two things for me.
Okay.
Okay, I'm very excited.
I hope you are, too.
- Yes, yeah.
- All right.
(DISHES CLANKING) (DISTANT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER) - Hey, Nick.
- Hey, Marnie.
(CLATTER, WATER RUNNING) That your Chinese boy toy? - God.
- Ah.
Obsessed.
Of course you are.
Come on.
I'm gonna have to call your parole officer, aren't I? Ha! Whatever.
You waiting dinner or you punching out? I'm afraid you're stuck with me tonight, my man.
- Really? - Yes.
God.
Well, Jimmy said it would be a good night.
Hope so.
(KEYS RATTLING) (MAN ON TV) Your team had so many shots early on.
Seems to be a big difference.
Things went on (CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY) (MAN 2) Yeah, well, they didn't.
Really, the stat was at the beginning of the game, where they got a bunch of second chance points, and they hit threes on every one of those, and then we were down 12, and we had two turnovers at the beginning of the second quarter, and we didn't get any open shots.
They missed enough open shots in the second half that we would have had a better opportunity if we'd rebounded a little better and made a few shots of our own, but they were prepared.
Uh, and love this crowd.
I didn't get a good job of getting our guys ready.
(MAN ON MICROPHONE) Give a big TechCrunch welcome for Mr.
Alex Bell! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
It's overwhelming, heh.
Yeah, we are overwhelmed, actually, uh We had super high hopes for the number of users that we might get in the first quarter, but didn't expect anywhere near this kind of volume.
I mean, it's like we took you to dinner and you asked us to marry you, heh heh.
(LAUGHTER) I mean, our first month, we almost crashed one of Eden Field's servers.
Yeah, they those they were under a DDOS attack.
Yeah, we still have I guys scrambling to keep up with demand right now.
Oh, Stan, Barry, I think they're here somewhere, sorry.
You guys will get to sleep someday.
But in all seriousness, in all seriousness we are humbled by the positive user response.
And more importantly, we are thrilled to see that this is already making a difference in the way that we manage, share, and relate to money.
Okay, we all want to see what's in this presentation.
(DISTANT SEAGULLS CALLING) (SIGHS) (ROOSTER CROWS) - (ALARM BEEPING) - (GROANS) (RAP MUSIC) Be good, Grandma.

Yeah, you know anything about that? Nah.

No, Lemon City's everything to us, bruh.
And even if somebody get pinched, we can't eat without that spot, bruh.
It ain't just the park, E.
It's our north side corners, too, our east side corners.
The police, they got a mandate.
Make the white folk feel safe, and the hammer's gonna drop, just like it done in Wynwood, just like it done in Overtown.
That's why Big Keith and them, they've been trying to take our corners because they got pushed off of theirs.
Ain't you already warn Lance about all this shit? Are you saying we start torching buildings? - Maybe.
What? - (OVERLAPPING AGREEMENT) - That's what I'm saying, dog.

I'd still love to see you every week, but no more money, okay? You know, it could be another six months till I get my court date.
I don't need it right now, honest.
Just don't skip town or anything.
Well, thank you again for what you did for me.

How you got a one-in-a-thousand chance? Oh, no, them government dudes are they broke.
No one in there is trying to check they shit.
It's too expensive.
And the mail got there? The money was held in escrow, through GenCoin, and once the buyer received the package, the money was sent to this account.
He paid $70 for a gram? Yeah.
Damn, that's ten more than my street markup.
I mean, I spent six on shipping.

How long does a person bleed for anyway? Oh pretty soon, it's gonna run out.
Or their heart will stop.
I don't recollect when that happened.
But I'm guessing pretty soon, uh, because Yeah, it was it was right to left, so it would have been on the left side of her head, the second blow.
I mean, the one that really (PEN SCRATCHING) Anyway, it put her down pretty quick.
But I'm I'm saying, I think it's the blood loss rather than the the actual impact.
(PEN SCRATCHING) And that is when you put her in a suitcase? Uh, no, I I wrapped her in visquine, and then I folded Visquine? What is visquine? It's a It's a thick plastic.

Really sturdy brand.
I fit her whole body right into suitcase.
She didn't fit, so I, uh have to break ankles to make it fit.
(CLEARS THROAT) But she was small.
And that's when you drove to the river? No, I waited.
I made sure I'd cleaned everything first.
Bleach.
Hours I spent.
And then, yes, I took the suitcase to the river, b by the overpass.
(BOGDEN) What time would you say it was? This would have been 3:00 a.
m.
, 3:30, maybe.
I put, um I put hamburger meat in the water to attract the alligators.
I know it worked.
It's the last time I saw her.
Let me ask you a really fun question.
Yeah.
Why'd you do it? She was asking too many questions.
She was real go-getter.
You know? (CHAIR SCRAPES FLOOR) Good luck with that.
(CLEARS THROAT) Whew.
Even with a confession from Grigory we could easily make it you who is behind bars.
At any point, he could very well, um come to his senses and recant his story.
Well, I can name snitches.
I can look the other way while you do your real estate deals, but come on.
What do you need? Tell me.
- Nick Talman.
- What? I'm about to bring in some very high-profile investors to back GenCoin, but, uh there is still some baggage if anyone were to look into the money trail.
So you think Nick Talman should take the fall for his dad? (CUP CLINKS) (COMPUTER BEEPING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) And though the trouble's in the dark I will hold All the lights on you We give ourselves a shining start All alone All alone And all the roses turn to black And my heart is as cold as stone (NICK) Tell us what you need.
(RONALD) Yeah, we're here for you, girl.
You can't do nothing? Make it right? Just be here with your family, Izz.
Just be here with my family? They're gonna get away with it.
You guys don't believe me.
Izzy, I I don't think they're gonna get away They thought it was a gang! The cops said it was the wrong house.
They're gonna get away with it.
Izz, I don't think you understand what you're asking I know what I'm asking for, Ronnie.
That's why I'm asking you! Hey, Izz, just calm down.
Don't fucking do that.
Don't treat me like a kid! Let's all just I think we should have this conversation, but I think we should table it.
Need to be smart about this.
"Smart.
" (RONALD) Izz, you got us.
Obviously, I don't.
I think I'm gonna go.
I think we should go.
Go.
(NICK) You think we're in any kind of danger? It was a warning shot.
Just keep your head down some.
Okay.
Stay low.
It's gonna blow over soon.
All right.
Tell Tam I said hey.
For sure.
(CAR STARTS) (LAUGHTER) You really think they will? That's ridiculous.
Who gonna go over there? What, you don't believe me? Go walk by.
Hipsters lining up for $10 lattes.
Hipsters? From where? All them kids moving up here from Wynwood, Edgewater.
Cross 195, please.
You need to get out more.
(LAUGHTER, DOOR OPENS) Hey, baby.
Ladies.
I'm gonna get, uh, dinner started.
Your man cook for you? Once a week, he do.
- Ooh - (LAUGHTER) Hey, you ladies staying for dinner? Yes.
(ALL) Yes! Daddy! Oh, baby girl! There she is.
Mmm.
Wanna help your old man peel some spuds? Sure.
(MAN ON TV) the stock market posting historical highs.
Worries abound whether we've hit our high or when the bubble might burst.
The tech stocks and corporate earnings are what's driving this market.
(CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY) (POUNDING ON DOOR) (POUNDING CONTINUES) FBI, open up! Coming! I finally found that warrant.
Okay, go ahead.
(INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO CHATTER) (HANDCUFFS SNAPPING) (DISTANT SIREN) Money laundering, right? That's, what? A minimum of five years? I guess with what you took for your old man, judge is gonna hit you with, I'm guessing, 10 to 15? Yeah? What does what does partner-murdering carry? I still have that audio file from Daewon.
I can still let that go.
Good! You know what? Good.
Let that go, tweet about it for all I care.
'Cause there is a man in jail as of this morning.
He killed my partner, he's in prison for it now.
So, yeah, you let that go.
See where it gets you.
Don't threaten me, Nick.
In just three months, you've taken a simple peer to peer network and built it into a ubiquitous digital currency.
I think what we're seeing is the world is ready for a cryptocurrency based on pure commerce.
There's so little trust in government these days, so But do you think it's a little disconcerting to people that this sort of power is being wielded by what is essentially tech company? You have a board, you have investors.
How are people expected to place their full trust in a corporation like Axis? We want to continue using this momentum to do good.
- Sure, but - You know? I imagine people are wondering where you go from here.
Are there new plans on the horizon for GenCoin? We have a lot of exciting projects coming up really soon.
But what is the end goal, really? Can't really talk about it.
(CHUCKLING) Maybe just a hint? Uh No, I can't really, uh My board would be - They wouldn't be happy.
- All right.
Alex Bell, it's been a pleasure discussing GenCoin with you.
We're looking forward to what's next for you and your company, Axis.
(WIND WHIPPING) (SEAGULLS CALLING) (FLY BUZZING) (FLY BUZZING) (YAWNS) (GRUNTS SOFTLY) (WATER BUBBLING) When we were building GenCoin, going around asking these VCs for our first round, we got a lot of no's.
You know why? 'Cause we couldn't quite explain how to scale it.
I mean, none of these guys cared about disrupting the banks or changing the face of currency.
They all wanted to know how quickly would they make their money back.
- Okay.
- Uh I forget, you're a, um, a senior, at - Junior.
- Junior at FSU, okay.
I think we're not gonna mention that.
We'll say that you graduated from their school of computer engineering.
But I didn't.
It's okay, nobody's gonna check.
The two things we really have to be able to answer are, one, what makes this a better VR architecture program than any out there, and two, how quickly can this be a publicly traded company? Okay.
So those are the two questions to think about for next time.
Do you Are there meetings set up already with investors? Um, absolutely.
It's all in motion.
It's all in motion, Paul.
But don't worry about that.
Let me worry about that.
You worry about those two things.
Okay.
Oh, I didn't pay.
It's okay, I got it.
My pleasure.
- Okay.
Thanks.
- Paul.
Thank you.
My my absolute pleasure.
Be well, think about those two things for me.
Okay.
Okay, I'm very excited.
I hope you are, too.
- Yes, yeah.
- All right.
(DISHES CLANKING) (DISTANT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER) - Hey, Nick.
- Hey, Marnie.
(CLATTER, WATER RUNNING) That your Chinese boy toy? - God.
- Ah.
Obsessed.
Of course you are.
Come on.
I'm gonna have to call your parole officer, aren't I? Ha! Whatever.
You waiting dinner or you punching out? I'm afraid you're stuck with me tonight, my man.
- Really? - Yes.
God.
Well, Jimmy said it would be a good night.
Hope so.
(KEYS RATTLING) (MAN ON TV) Your team had so many shots early on.
Seems to be a big difference.
Things went on (CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY) (MAN 2) Yeah, well, they didn't.
Really, the stat was at the beginning of the game, where they got a bunch of second chance points, and they hit threes on every one of those, and then we were down 12, and we had two turnovers at the beginning of the second quarter, and we didn't get any open shots.
They missed enough open shots in the second half that we would have had a better opportunity if we'd rebounded a little better and made a few shots of our own, but they were prepared.
Uh, and love this crowd.
I didn't get a good job of getting our guys ready.
(MAN ON MICROPHONE) Give a big TechCrunch welcome for Mr.
Alex Bell! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
It's overwhelming, heh.
Yeah, we are overwhelmed, actually, uh We had super high hopes for the number of users that we might get in the first quarter, but didn't expect anywhere near this kind of volume.
I mean, it's like we took you to dinner and you asked us to marry you, heh heh.
(LAUGHTER) I mean, our first month, we almost crashed one of Eden Field's servers.
Yeah, they those they were under a DDOS attack.
Yeah, we still have I guys scrambling to keep up with demand right now.
Oh, Stan, Barry, I think they're here somewhere, sorry.
You guys will get to sleep someday.
But in all seriousness, in all seriousness we are humbled by the positive user response.
And more importantly, we are thrilled to see that this is already making a difference in the way that we manage, share, and relate to money.
Okay, we all want to see what's in this presentation.

No, Lemon City's everything to us, bruh.
And even if somebody get pinched, we can't eat without that spot, bruh.
It ain't just the park, E.
It's our north side corners, too, our east side corners.
The police, they got a mandate.
Make the white folk feel safe, and the hammer's gonna drop, just like it done in Wynwood, just like it done in Overtown.
That's why Big Keith and them, they've been trying to take our corners because they got pushed off of theirs.
Ain't you already warn Lance about all this shit? Are you saying we start torching buildings? - Maybe.
What? - (OVERLAPPING AGREEMENT) - That's what I'm saying, dog.
