The fascinating tale of FTX's remarkable demise and its mysterious creator, from the #1 best-selling author of The Big Short and Flash Boys.
Sam Bankman-Fried was the world's youngest millionaire and the crypto equivalent of Gatsby when Michael Lewis first met him. Leaders of minor nations, CEOs, and celebrities fought for his attention and money as he unexpectedly shot to the top of Forbes' billionaire list. Who was this scruffy man with the limp white socks and cargo shorts, whose eyes flickered throughout Zoom sessions as he played video games on the side?
Lewis attempts to provide an answer to this issue in Going Infinite by putting readers inside the head of Bankman-Fried, whose ascent and decline provide a lesson in high-frequency trading, cryptocurrency, charity, bankruptcy, and the legal system. Going Infinite, a psychological portrait and financial roller coaster ride, is Michael Lewis at his best, following the surreal journey of a man who was free to follow his own rules and never liked them until everything fell apart.
