Amidst the courtroom drama, author Michael Lewis is promoting his book “Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon,” which has also faced criticism. With conflicting accounts from witnesses and ongoing legal proceedings, audiences can expect a captivating story filled with vast fortunes, indulgence, polyamorous relationships, and layers of deceit.
