Every Tuesday at Dark Markets, I publish a roundup of the week's wildest, funniest, darkest tales of financial fraud, startup crime, and general malfeasance. 

This week's highlights include a rare non-finance story: a major development in the story of Nicholas Rossi, an alleged double rapist who has spent years feigning an English accent and insisting that he is a British man named "Arthur Knight" in an attempt to avoid extradition back to Utah.

Other updates on Bolt's insane new funding round, Elon Musks's catastrophic Twitter loans, new FTX campaign finance charges ... and even a little *good* news about Babylon's new Bitcoin restaking service.

Please subscribe to Dark Markets, and share with fellow fans of bumbling con-men and delusional tech freaks!
