"The Big Short" Author: About to complete a book on SBF, holds a small amount of crypto assets in FTX

ChainCatcher news, Michael Lewis, the author of "The Big Short," stated at the 2023 Miami Bitcoin Conference that he is nearing completion of a book about Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) and the collapse of his FTX crypto empire.

Lewis mentioned that his interview subjects include SBF's inner circle, employees, investors, Bahamian officials, and U.S. regulators. Although he has sold the film rights to Apple, the final manuscript will not be completed for a few more months.

He did not provide a formal publication date but indicated that he hopes the book will be published concurrently with SBF's criminal trial if it begins. The prosecution initially set the trial date for October, but SBF's lawyers indicated they might attempt to delay the trial date.

Additionally, Lewis stated, "I am grateful for the invention of cryptocurrency," and noted that he once owned some crypto assets, but those assets are currently locked in the FTX bankruptcy proceedings. "Not much money," he said, "I didn't put all my money into Bitcoin." (source link)
