When Michael Lewis met the former billionaire and cryptocurrency entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried, Lewis suggested the idea of doing a book on him while walking through a eucalyptus grove near Lewis' Berkeley home. Bankman-Fried gave the OK and gave Lewis unprecedented access for what would become the book Going Infinite.
The book's publication date coincided with the beginning of Bankman-Fried's trial. When the verdict came after only four hours of deliberations, the founder and CEO of the crypto exchange FTX was found guilty of swindling $8 billion in customer money.
