Roszak

Novelists have always been entranced with the seedier side of show business, from Michael Tolkin’s classic “The Player” to Theodore Roszak’s paranoiac “Flicker” to Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s devilish “Silver Nitrate.”

A group led by blockchain investors Matthew Roszak and Peter Vessenes are nearing a $125 million deal for cryptocurrency-focused media firm CoinDesk, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

CoinDesk, Roszak's investment firm Tally Capital and Vessenes's family office did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

Thomas Roszak was working as a maintenance technician at Ocado's giant warehouse in Hatfield when he received a very unusual assignment.

A human would struggle to hold the plate for more than two or three minutes, but the robot found it "easy" to hold the plate in place, while Mr Roszak undid the bolts.
