Have you heard of the story of “The Big Short”? It is a best-seller whose author is Michael Lewis and which was adapted to the cinema in 2015. A highly successful adaptation that tells the story of different people who anticipated the great crisis of 2008 with a handicap, which will eventually enable them to raise several hundred million dollars.

In a letter from the Creative Artists Agency, we learn that Michael Lewis, the author of the successful adoption, has just spent the last six months “traveling and interviewing Sam Bankman-Fried.” Close ties with the fallen former FTX boss will enable him to obtain exclusive information.

“His childhood, his early success on Wall Street, his selflessness and the creation of a cryptocurrency empire that catapulted him into the ranks of the world’s richest people in record time seemed more than enough for a Michael Lewis book. […] The events of the past week offered a surprising and dramatic end to the story.”

With the sudden and unexpected collapse of FTXMichael Lewis would have in his hands one of the most incredible stories in the world of finance. As he has been following SBF for several months, he was able to see for himself their working methods and the true character behind it.

Although the book was originally going to be about the billionaire gambler’s success at the helm of an empire in the world of cryptocurrencies, it will finally address the descent into hell of one of the largest cryptocurrency exchange platforms, but also of the biggest scam the cryptosphere has ever known. In this book, you will discover probably unknown facets of one of the iconic figures of the crypto ecosystem that was Sam Bankman-Fried.
