You're like an educated European guy.

The Jordan Harbinger Show

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

He lives in like a shack.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

made out of some sort of local wood and thatch, and he lays around while these guys stand around with machine guns, and then a bunch of other local people dig in watery pools with their bare hands and go down into holes, and they pull out coltan.

And it's like a really good gig.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

And he's like, well, I'm friends with the president of the country, and he allows these operations.

And basically, it was like the most crooked, corrupt, shady...

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

thing that I'd ever heard.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

Yes, I was like, okay, so white European guy goes to Africa and is friends with the president and has militia guards around him but may need to escape at any point in time and basically has what I'm hoping are not slaves digging for coltan in the dirt.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

Yeah, exactly.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

So, yeah, kept in touch with him for a while, but didn't kind of make the cut after I started finding out about this.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

Yeah, it's like, oh, you run a porn cam site.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

I want to know about that.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

Then I never want to talk to you again.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

And then it's like, how do you get payment?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

Cryptocurrency.

The Jordan Harbinger Show

Oh, so you're basically money laundering slash tax evasion.
