And \"The Satoshi Affair\" chronicles the strange case of Craig Wright, the Australian Web developer who may or may not be the mysterious inventor of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamotoamp;mdash;and who may or may not be willing, or even able, to reveal the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169378713840,"sku":"2940170661954","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170661954_p0.jpg?v=1763810346","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170661954","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
