Shout out to the excellent writers covering crypto, we need you, and you all deserve more credit. Today's award for CSO - Crypto Simplification Officer - is David Z. Morris (some won't read as soon as they see the URL and/or Coindesk but their loss, this is excellent.)
Where does this put him in the top 40?
I’ve just watched the BBC Wales documentary ‘Beyond Reasonable Doubt to me it definitely seems like David Morris was convicted on flimsy evidence and the other ‘persons of interest’ had much more of a motive. I’d love to hear others thoughts? What a truly horrific crime.
29-year-old Michigan City resident and mother of three, Candi Brown Morris was reported missing by her husband, 45-year-old David Morris, in August 2012.
David claimed he had last seen Candi on the 7th of August, however it was learned Candi was last alive on the 25th, when she dropped a friend named Tyrone Harris off at his home around 1A.M.
Candi’s wallet was found at Reilly’s Bar and Grill, and her car was found at Three Sheets Bar, both located in Michigan City, Indiana. A check of her cell phone records indicated she last sent a text near the corner of County Line Road and Chandler Road in Pines, Indiana. According to police, the text was sent to a friend and was “nothing out of the ordinary.”
Volunteers scoured the area for Candi multiple times, however were unsuccessful at locating her.
It was during one of those searches that David met a 30-year-old woman named Anna Reeves. Less than a month after his wife had disappeared, the two began a public romantic relationship.
As the temperatures began to drop, the search was called off and Candi remained listed as a missing person.
Then in May of the following year, Candi’s remains were discovered in a wooded area near the town of Pines, Indiana less than a quarter mile from where she sent her last text. Due to the extended period that her remains were exposed to the elements, investigators were unable to determine her cause of death.
In a bizarre coincidence, the same day Candi’s remains were discovered, David’s girlfriend Anna died suddenly in her sleep. David had previous charges of domestic abuse against Anna, however her cause of death was ruled “accidental due to acute mixed drug intoxication or overdose.”
David was never charged in Candi’s murder and denies knowing what happened to her, however rumors swirled of his possible involvement. Suspicions were deepened further after David was found guilty of violently murdering a used car lot owner named Hufracio Arteaga in 2016.
The small used car dealership, Easy Drive Auto, in Michigan City, Indiana, was co-owned by 65-year-old Hufracio Arteaga and a man named Sergio Serrano.
Hufracio had moved to the U.S. from Mexico three years prior in the hopes of being better able to provide for his family back in Mexico. He worked at his dealership 7 days a week and nearly all of the money he made, he sent back home.
Sergio and Hufracio became very close during their time working together, however when business began to suffer and the lot star

Also, unlike other fiction novels, the narrative style is quite peculiar. Even the dialogues aren't dialogues but a personal narration that plunges you into protagonist's mindset, their wayward perspective, and wets you with myriad of emotions. Its melancholic nature may cause dismay to some readers, but for readers who like human journeys which are self-reflective, engrossing and thought provoking , this is a must read.
By the end, I just didn't want it to end.
