Michael Lewis

This week, we’ll hear from journalist Michael Lewis about a year in the life of crypto-currency king Sam Bankman-Fried. The FTX founder became the world’s youngest billionaire. Now, he’s been convicted of taking billions of dollars in customer deposits to fund political donations, luxury real estate and his own personal investments. It’s the subject of Lewis’ newest book, Going Infinite. On November 13, 2023, Lewis came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk to Indre Viskontas about Bankman-Fried’s rise and fall.
