The collapse of one of the biggest crypto exchanges around the globe, FTX, and the arrest of its founder and former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, also called SBF in the crypto space, would make a cinematic masterpiece. Inspired by this vision, the author of some of the most successful books like “Moneyball,” “The Big Short,” and “The Blind Side,” Michael Lewis, has captured the opportunity to write a book on the implosion of the exchange.

According to a report from the NYPost, Lewis was in a very long conversation with Bankman-Fried, who has been placed on house arrest by the court and is currently living in his parents’ house. After causing a multi-billion dollar collapse, the former FTX executive is living a perfectly good life, and to add to his heritage, the crypto entrepreneur deemed a “scammer” by many, will have a book dedicated to his work.

SBF fue detenido en las Bahamas por la Policía Real en el pedido del gobierno de estados unidos, que lo acusó de fraude electrónico y lavado de dinero. Pasó unos días en la prisión de Fox Hill, Nassau, que se considera una de las más brutales del mundo. Sin embargo, como informó anteriormente Bitnation, el fundador de FTX fue recibió un trato especial en la cárcel, y también tenía acceso a una televisión y un periódico donde leía artículos sobre sí mismo.

Es crucial señalar que después de su extradición a los EE. UU., SBF fue otorgó una fianza de $250 millones por un juez estadounidense, lo cual fue inesperado para los miembros del criptoespacio. Muchas personas en Twitter comentaron que esto fue el resultado de la riqueza extrema que el exejecutivo de FTX había acumulado durante su tiempo en el intercambio.

SBF was sentenced to house arrest at his parents’ house, where he was visited by the bestselling author Michael Lewis. As per the NYPost, Lewis spent hours with SBF and talked about multiple things, but none of them have been made public. However, the two could possibly have had a chat about how the once 30-year old billionaire is now facing fraud charges and might very well face 115 years in prison.

While the founder of FTX is currently in his home in Palo Alto, it is crucial to note that, as per an entertainment publication called The Ankler, Lewis was in talks with SBF for a very long time before SBF was accused of money laundering. In August, the author stated that he was working on a new book that will focus on cryptocurrencies. He stated that the story of the new book “weirdly links up Flash Boys, The Big Short and Liar’s Poker.”

“I guess it is possible it will be framed as a crypto book, but it won’t be a crypto book. It’ll be about this really unusual character. You’ll learn all about crypto and you’ll learn about what screwed up market structure in the United States and so on,” said Lewis.

A note was leaked, which revealed that Lewis is pitching the book to potential movie rights buyers. However, anti-Bitcoin economist, Peter Schiff, stated that “If SBF is the source, it will be a work of fiction.” Michael Lewis needs to piece together what really happened from more reliable sources.”
