When author Michael Lewis first met Sam Bankman-Fried, he was the world’s youngest billionaire and crypto’s Gatsby. CEOs, celebrities, and leaders of small countries all vied for his time and cash after he catapulted onto the Forbes billionaire list. Who was this rumpled guy whose eyes twitched across Zoom meetings as he played video games on the side?

The story of FTX’s spectacular collapse and the enigmatic founder at its center reveals 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.
