Cryptocurrency consultant Nicolas Turnbull gave evidence to help the jury understand some of the jargon, but he said there seemed to be "no real structure" to DeLuney's trading.

diary

Shouldn't diaries be chaotic and unstructured? It's their essence -- writing down small thoughts to not forget them. They shouldn't make sense to other people. And of course, a diary cannot have a "structured" template.

Lots of people dream of lambos and houses on the beach when trading crypto. That's the whole lure of the market.
