This chapter explores a trial involving alleged misuse of customer funds and irresponsible investments, as well as the challenges in recovering lost money. It also examines the motivations behind fraudulent behavior and the influence of social power and wealth creation.
Michael Lewis knows how to tell a story. He’s given color to the characters behind baseball and the finance industry. Now, he paints a portrait of Sam-Bankman Fried, the infamous face of crypto who went from billionaire to bankrupt overnight.
Motley Fool CEO and co-founder, Tom Gardner, caught up with Lewis at a Motley Fool member event in New York. They discuss:
- The downfall of crypto exchange FTX and potential outcomes for Bankman-Fried’s ongoing criminal trial
- The hold that FOMO has over Silicon Valley
- Why organizations can’t thrive without “keen emotional intelligence”
