Going Infinite by Michael Lewis is a must-read for everyone trying to understand the blockchain industry, and everything we want to avoid for those of us working to build blockchain “the right way.”
If you’ve read Michael Lewis’s books (The Big Short, Moneyball, Liar’s Poker), you know he has a knack for taking difficult financial concepts and making them understandable and fun to read.
In his latest book, Going Infinite, Michael Lewis was lucky enough to be writing a book about Sam Bankman-Fried when the FTX meltdown happened, giving him a front-row seat into exactly what went down.
You’ll learn:
– How and why SBF moved from the United States to Asia to the Bahamas in search of a crypto-friendly jurisdiction.
– The scoop on the on-again, off-again romance between SBF and Caroline Ellison, who was also serving as CEO of his hedge fund Alameda.
– How SBF befriended Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO of Binance, who ultimately contributed to his downfall.
– Why John Ray, appointed CEO of FTX after its collapse, was chosen to clean up the mess, and what he did next.
Moderated by Michael de la Maza, Professor of Business Analytics and Machine Learning at Hult International Business School.
