The timing attack you were looking for in the last episode was with BitMEX and their 3-of-4 multisig, with 3 keys held by the founders and a fourth vanity key thrown in to give the addresses a cool 3BiTMEX prefix. By watching which keys signed off on daily withdrawals, one could make a good guess about who owned what key. The biggest clue then came when one of the founders Sam Reed was arrested and that pretty much gave away the identity of his key. Because P2SH is a privacy leaking shitcoin unlike Taproot's tapscript, which keeps key combinations and spending rules way more hidden.
