Recently Chepicap reported on a debate that went down between BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes and NYU Professor and outspoken cryptocurrency critic Nouriel Roubini. Now, Roubini has doubled down calling Hayes "the biggest asshole, jerk, manipulator and criminal in the world," and threatening to sue.

Ever since the debate Roubini has called out Hayes for refusing to release the unedited video and only releasing clips that show Roubini in a bad light.

Another @CryptoHayes scam: he didnt allow the blockchain conference to record our debate or beam it live. He controls the only recording of it and will only release heavily edited "highlights". I destroyed @CryptoHayes in the debate and he is hiding. RELEASE THE TAPE YOU COWARD! https://t.co/khNEDM60uN

Now Crypto Globe has reported that Roubini has further pressed the issue, and recently said in a tweet that he will be suing Hayes and/or BitMEX;

@CryptoHayes is the biggest asshole, jerk, manipulator and criminal in the world. He is sending to select media a doctored edited highlights video of the debate to make me look bad cutting off all my points.I will sue them. This is sick criminal behaviour.Will not pass you coward

BitMEX has promised that more of the debate would be made public soon, though it is unclear why they have not published it already. In anticipation, they have released a trailer for the debate:

Unfortunately, this gives us very little of substance.The legal ground for Roubini to sue remains unclear, as does whether he will follow through with the threat.

Ultimately, it will be up to users to decide who won the debate, assuming the uncut footage gets release. If there are any updates, be sure that Chepicap will be here to cover them!
