A Film on FTX Collapse
The abrupt fall of FTX has triggered many institutions in the cryptocurrency industry. While the regulators are still investigating the case, many are coming up with more and more details that were kept unknown till now. And one among them is Michael Lewis, the famous writer who authored several books on various financial collapses in history. Some of his books were turned into feature films like Moneyball, The Blind Side, and The Big Short. And now, he’s said to be working on the story of FTX! As per reports, Lewis has been tracking every move of Sam Bankman-Fried’s for the last six months – helping to know better and deeper about the FTX collapse. It’s said the deal is valued in the “mid-seven-figure range”, with the Lewis book to talk about what went down at FTX and the story around Bankman-Fried’s dealings to save it and eventually quit. The liquidation process of FTX is getting worse, where the former CEO was forced to set up his rich Bahamas resort for sale, and a number of celebrities, including Tom Brady and Larry David, are being sued for their part in promoting FTX. While there are other projects focusing on Sam Bankman-Fried’s story, it’s the Lewis book that’ll be the center of attraction due to his history of successful movie adaptations.
