This is the short story of a bunch of young English speaking (and mostly privileged white) men from the Com who decided that continuing to live in the US, UK and other western nations after stealing loads of cryptocurrency maybe wasn't a great idea. So a bunch of them had the brilliant idea to move to Dubai, where nobody flinches if you're flaunting your wealth. Thing is, Dubai actually treats thieves quite harshly, as many of them are now finding out the hard way.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
