CEOs, celebrities, and leaders of small countries all vied for his time and cash after he catapulted, practically overnight, onto the Forbes billionaire list. Who was this rumpled guy in cargo shorts and limp white socks, whose eyes twitched across Zoom meetings as he played video games on the side? In Going Infinite Lewis sets out to answer this question, taking readers into the mind of Bankman-Fried, whose rise and fall offers an education in high-frequency trading, cryptocurrencies, philanthropy, bankruptcy, and the justice system. Both psychological portrait and financial roller-coaster ride, Going Infinite 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. n-us--- Bankman-Fried, Sam Billionaires United States Biography Swindlers and swindling United States Biography Cryptocurrencies Bitcoin Electronic commerce Money laundering HG1710.3 .L39 2024 364.16 LEW 9780241651117 2023049070 DLC 231019 20260410194047.0 23356682 eng
