The film, based on Michael Lewis’s bestseller Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon will be an Apple Studios/A24 production, tracing the life of Sam Bankman-Fried, former FTX CEO, who was recently convicted of fraud. The adaptation comes at a time when the former FTX CEO was recently convicted of fraud, and many cannot wait to see the timeline of his rise and fall. Apple and A24 also now look to tell the story of Bankman-Fried’s rise and fall as an incredibly accessible review of one of the biggest financial scandals of the last decade.

Michael Lewis’ Book and Exclusive Access to Sam Bankman-Fried

Michael Lewis’ Book and Exclusive Access to Sam Bankman-Fried

Bankman-Fried received unparalleled access to financial journalist Michael Lewis, both before and after the collapse of FTX. He thus recorded the events leading up to FTX’s collapse from a holistic point of view. With a rights-sale price at a whopping $5 million, Apple bought the rights on Lewis’s book. Lewis would also bring a much-needed level of complexity to the film, drawing upon his earlier successes in adapting Moneyball and The Big Short.

Lewis followed Bankman-Fried at the events, which had included an invitation to a gathering in the Bahamas. This was a chance to see the culture of FTX and the ambition of Bankman-Fried for the crypto exchange. In the wake of FTX’s fall and Bankman-Fried’s extradition to the United States, Lewis was continuing to watch him as he served out his house arrest with an almost seeming imperturbable demeanour on the still unrecovered $8 billion in customer funds.

This case against Bankman-Fried led to a severe blow of conviction in November 2023 on seven charges, including fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering. He is ranked as the 41st among the richest Americans. Bankman-Fried has now faced losing $11 billion, stamped out with the gravity of his acts and the impact on the crypto industry. Before his trial, Bankman-Fried received house arrest at his parents’ place in Palo Alto with a bail in $250 million  His parents, both professors of law at Stanford, became a part of this legal drama, as the actions of Bankman-Fried is alleged to have sent shadows down their family street.

The Role of Lena Dunham and Apple’s Investment

Apple and A24 have hired Girls creator Lena Dunham to write an adaptation of Going Infinite. Dunham’s sensibility and her ability to make richly multidimensional characters will serve the purpose of showing Bankman-Fried to be a multi-dimensional character. As he awaits a 25-year prison term for his crimes, the public will be emotionally interested in how the surface gloss of early success and the machinations behind his scammy cryptocurrency exchange all came to an end. The release of this production accompanies another series on Bankman-Fried from Amazon, marking further public interest in learning about the FTX founder’s rise and fall.

Implications for the Crypto Industry

Implications for the Crypto Industry

The movie adaptation of the book by Lewis marks a turning point in introspection by the cryptocurrency and financial realms. FTX has marked cracks in crypto regulation, with industry experts sounding alarms that the scandal might delay the acceptance of institutions and create further layers of regulatory scrutiny. More about FTX operations will be exposed to the open, and regulators will tighten the noose with clearer regulations to prevent such meltdowns.

The FTX fiasco has already caused mass losses of trust and numerous endeavours by crypto companies to develop a more resilient culture of transparency in their practices. Experts observed that fair documentation of the story would make this sad tale stand out as an excellent cautionary example for the entire fraternity of crypto investment and society at large on the grave risks posed when one drops his or her high ethical standards to succeed in emerging markets.
