Lucas Nuzzi is a Brazilian-born blockchain analytics expert and data scientist. In November 2022, his on-chain analytical sleuthing gave the world, for the first time, a complete picture of the fraud that had been occurring between FTX and Alameda Research - entities that were both controlled by Sam Bankman-Fried.

Lucas and host Aaron Stanley go behind the scenes of his groundbreaking research that revealed $4 billion in commingled funds between FTX and Alameda, providing the first public evidence of systematic fraud.

From receiving hundreds of desperate messages from FTX users to working with prosecutors, Lucas shares the personal toll of being on the front lines during crypto's darkest hour. We explore how traditional due diligence failed, why proof of reserves could prevent future collapses, and the lessons learned from SBF's spectacular fall

Niklas Anzinger, CEO of Infinita City, discusses how new governance models can unlock technological innovation through regulatory flexibility.

Operating within Prospera's special economic zone in Honduras, Infinita is building a biotech-focused district that demonstrates how competitive governance can foster development.

Key takeaways:

• Regulatory flexibility allows businesses to select from proven international frameworks rather than being subject to monopolistic regulation, unlocking "stranded technologies"
• The project uses market mechanisms like mandatory liability insurance to create proper regulatory incentives without overregulation
• Notable tech investors including Brian Armstrong (Coinbase), Balaji Srinivasan, and Tim Draper have recently backed the project, validating its approach to governance innovation
