"Both psychological portrait and financial roller-coaster ride, is Michael Lewis at the top of his game, tracing the mind-bending trajectory of a character who never liked the rules and was allowed to live by his own until it all came undone."
"Michael Lewis, the famed author, was notably one of the few people allowed in to meet with Bankman-Fried in late 2022 while he sat out his bail-release, pre-trial, at his parents' house in Palo Alto."
