Coffeezilla Criticizes Michael Lewis’ Book on SBF
Coffeezilla, a prominent cryptocurrency investigator, has expressed criticism towards Michael Lewis’ latest book about Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). The investigator suggests that the book presents a positive image of the disgraced FTX founder, who is currently facing trial for alleged fraud involving billions of dollars.
Coffeezilla Hints At Positive Depiction Of SBF
In a post on X, Coffeezilla reveals that they have finished reading Michael Lewis’ book titled “Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon.” The book explores the journey of FTX under Bankman-Fried’s leadership, from its smooth operations to its eventual decline.
However, Coffeezilla advises their followers that they were not misled by Lewis’ recent 60 Minutes interview. In the interview, Lewis discusses his interactions with Bankman-Fried and suggests that if there hadn’t been concerns about withdrawals, FTX might still be profitable.
Coffeezilla argues that the book contradicts the narrative presented in court filings and the losses experienced by investors. They express their surprise at the book’s focus on scrutinizing the motives of the current FTX CEO rather than SBF himself.
Lewis Explored SBF’s Life In Depth
Michael Lewis portrays SBF as a believer in “effective altruism” in his book. He delves into Bankman-Fried’s desire to accumulate wealth and use it to address global poverty and hunger. Lewis claims to have spent 100 hours with SBF, attending meetings with politicians in Washington and visiting FTX’s headquarters in the Bahamas.
The highly anticipated fraud trial of SBF began recently, with jury selection starting on October 3. It was revealed that no plea offers had been negotiated with SBF before the trial commenced.
