Sorry for the quality of the audio, this was originally recorded on Chris' phone for his personal records only as it was not anticipated that he would need to release it. However after the response on social media to BBC Click's framing of Dark Wallet and Bitcoin, members of the community asked for it to be released.

And it was decided that after talking to the BBC I should release my copy of the footage.
