Michael Lewis Already Selling Movie Rights for Book on FTX's $32 Billion Meltdown
Matthew Snyder from talent agency CAA, which represents Lewis, reportedly sent around an email on Friday to Hollywood bigwigs explaining that Lewis has been interviewing Bankman-Fried for
months. Lewis and Bankman-Fried have been talking about everything from the FTX founder’s childhood to his first successes on Wall Street, a nd it seems certain that Lewis will have the inside story on everything that happened before FTX filed for bankruptcy“Of course, the events of the past week have provided a dramatic surprise ending to the story. It also highlighted the rivalry between Bankman-Fried and Binance head Chnagpeng [sic] Zhao. Michael likens them to the Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader of crypto,” the email by Snyder reads, according to a screenshot published by The Ankler.
The misspelled reference to Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, or CZ as he’s often known, refers to how CZ’s actions sent FTX into a tailspin. CZ bought a 20% stake in FTX back in 2019 but he had a falling out with Bankman-Fried, according to. When Bankman-Fried bought out CZ’s stake in FTX in mid-2021 it was in large part with FTX’s native token, FTT. CZ sold $580 million of that token last week, which sent the house of cards tumbling to the ground.Two licenses for the LOWEST price.
