https://www.amazon.com/Out-Ether-Amazing-Ethereum-Destroyed-ebook/dp/B08HSRLSCB His seminal article on the Ethereum Decentralized, Autonomous Organization, or DAO, hack, titled, The Ether Thief, documented the drama almost a year later in 2017 as the summer of 2016 dust was beginning to settle. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2017-the-ether-thief/ A combination of dogged, gumshoe reporting, and a flair for literary suspense, made the reader of that first deep dive article want more, a lot more. Leising is here to talk about what is now a full-fledged book, a grand look at the culture of Ethereum. **Donate directly to Coin Fugazi:**  bitcoincash:qzkdw8axyh8y6n38crp8k6herdlvvlmrp5k5tqdsm6 _____ **C.
