New Documentary Exposes the Turbulent Downfall of FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried
Bloomberg is gearing up to unveil one of the first documentaries delving into Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) and FTX’s saga. This Bloomberg Originals production casts a spotlight on the “dramatic downfall of his cryptocurrency enterprise.”
A trailer, just over two minutes, has also made its debut on October 13. This unveiling coincides with SBF navigating the treacherous waters of his New York trial, where he confronts testimonies from former allies like Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang.
These former associates have painted a damning picture, alleging SBF directed them into fraudulent activities and greenlit Alameda’s mingling with FTX’s client funds. Amidst this media frenzy, acclaimed “Big Short” author Michael Lewis is on a promotional spree for his latest offering, “Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon.”
Lewis’s tome, despite its completion, hasn’t been spared from criticism. Especially contentious was his claim on “60 Minutes” that FTX “actually had a great real business.”
Such assertions starkly clash with the recent testimonies of Ellison and Wang. Nonetheless, with all these biopics coming, audiences are in for a whirlwind tale encompassing vast fortunes, hedonistic indulgences, polyamorous relationships, and layers of deceit.
