Former FTX Chief Operating Officer Constance Wang posted on X on Friday that many people have messaged her to discuss the full trailer of the FTX-themed series "The Altruists" released by Netflix this week, and after watching it, she felt "physically sick."Wang served as FTX's Chief Operating Officer since early 2019 and was co-CEO in the last few months before the exchange's collapse until the crash in November 2022. She stated that the companies depicted in the trailer bear little resemblance to her work experience, mentioning that she was one of the last people to leave the Bahamas after Sam Bankman-Fried was extradited, losing everything in the process and taking a long time to recover, with no intention of defending those responsible for the situation.She also noted that the media enjoys the narrative of "FTX blowing up because everyone was partying in the Bahamas," but her workplace was nothing like that. The series is an eight-episode limited series, set to premiere on Netflix on November 19, and the approximately two-minute trailer has sparked criticism of the portrayals of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison.

Market news reports that Netflix (NFLX.O) is undergoing a restructuring, which is expected to affect about 5% of employees, with the announcement possibly as early as next week.

Netflix released a trailer for an eight-episode series that tells the story of the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, focusing on former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and his colleague and girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, head of FTX's sister company Alameda Research. The series will premiere on November 19, with Anthony Boyle portraying Bankman-Fried and Julia Garner portraying Ellison.The trailer emphasizes that "going all in on math is the optimal strategy," seemingly pointing to FTX's use of user funds for high-risk investments. Ellison, played by Garner, says in the trailer, "Lying isn't bad for a good cause," echoing Ellison's testimony during the 2023 trial, where she stated that Bankman-Fried believed the rules against lying and stealing did not necessarily apply to effective altruism, a philosophy that advocates doing good whenever possible, including through accumulating wealth to donate to charitable causes.After the collapse and bankruptcy of FTX, Bankman-Fried, Ellison, and related individuals were indicted in December 2022. Ellison pleaded guilty and cooperated with prosecutors to testify, while Bankman-Fried chose to stand trial, was convicted on seven counts of fraud, and sentenced to 25 years in prison. As of October, he remains incarcerated in federal prison and has requested a pardon from President Trump and for the Supreme Court to overturn his conviction; Ellison was released in January.

Netflix recently announced the official start of filming the cryptocurrency-themed romantic comedy film "One Attempt Remaining," marking the first time the crypto industry enters the mainstream Hollywood spotlight in a light-hearted comedic form. The film is directed by Kay Cannon and stars Golden Globe winner Jennifer Garner, with a plot revolving around a pair of ex-couples racing against time to recover their cryptocurrency wallet password.Industry insiders point out that in the past, cryptocurrencies were often associated with crime, money laundering, or speculative bubbles in film and television works, leading to a negative image, and they mostly appeared in independent films or niche genres. As cryptocurrency technology gradually moves into the mainstream and public awareness increases, this singular narrative is slowly changing.Several filmmakers and Web3 practitioners believe that the lack of deep integration of cryptocurrency into daily life is a significant reason for its long absence from mainstream screens. However, as the concepts of tokenization of real-world assets, cryptocurrency payments, and wallets become more understood by the public, film and television works are beginning to attempt to make the blockchain mechanism itself the core of their narratives.Industry expectations suggest that if cryptocurrency plays a more important role in the global economy in the future, its themes will appear more frequently in commercial films, adventure films, and heist movies, and the on-screen image of cryptocurrency is expected to move from the "gray area" to a more three-dimensional and diverse representation.
