Hub Extra 

This week’s Hub Extra is another podcast recommended by Rob D. 

It’s called ‘Exit Scam’. 

If you’ve been around for long enough, you may remember last year we mentioned a podcast called ‘The Missing Crypto Queen’ on BBC Sounds.  

Well, this podcast is very similar in terms of its theme. It’s about someone who set up a Crypto exchange who died under mysterious circumstances and may have faked his own death. 

It’s certainly a gripping one to get stuck into.
