Coffeezilla, a well-known cryptocurrency investigator with over 560,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), has criticized Michael Lewis’ recent book about Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF).
The investigator implies that the book portrays a positive image of the disgraced FTX founder. SBF is currently facing trial for alleged fraud involving billions of dollars.
Coffeezilla Hints At Positive Depiction Of SBF
In a post on X, Coffeezilla states that he has completed reading Michael Lewis’ new book, Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon.
The book chronicles the rise and fall of FTX under Bankman-Fried’s leadership. It delves into its seemingly smooth operations to its eventual decline.
Lewis disclosed that he dedicated more than 100 hours closely following the journey of the former billionaire.
However, Coffeezilla advises his followers that they were not “misled” by Lewis’ recent 60 Minutes interview.
In the interview, Lewis extensively discussed meeting Bankman-Fried as a young billionaire, forming friendships with high-profile celebrities, and even suggesting that if there hadn’t been concerns about withdrawals, the platform might still be operational:
“If there had not been a run on customer deposits, they’d still be sitting there making tons of money.”
Coffeezilla asserts that the book contradicts the publicly visible narrative presented by court filings and the evident losses experienced by investors worldwide.
He expresses being rendered “speechless.” Furthermore, he underscores its focus on scrutinizing the motives of the current FTX CEO rather than SBF.
“It is a full-out defense of SBF. He spends more time questioning the intentions of the BANKRUPTCY LAWYER John Ray, than he does SBF.”
Lewis Explored SBF’s Life In Depth
BeInCrypto recently reported that Lewis depicts SBF as a believer in “effective altruism.”
Lewis delves into SBF’s aspiration to accumulate substantial wealth and then use it to alleviate global poverty and hunger.
During the 100 hours that Lewis asserts he spent with SBF, he traveled to Washington for meetings with politicians. Additionally, he traveled to the Bahamas, where the FTX entity had its headquarters.
SBF’s highly anticipated fraud trial began this week. On October 3, the process of jury selection commenced.
Furthermore, it was disclosed that no plea offers had been negotiated with SBF before the trial started.
