Sam Bankman-Fried and the Fall of FTX soon to be adapted for Apple TV+

When it isMichael Lewisin person who follows you for six months, you have to expect the worst. However, it is not certain that Sam Bankman-Fried saw it coming: this month, his cryptocurrency exchange platform, FTX, collapsed after its solvency was called into question by the competition. The app has since gone bankrupt and the former CEO, who quickly left the ship, is keeping a low profile.

This was without counting on the ambitions of Lewis, author ofThe Big ShortetMoneyball. The American believes that the story is worth the detour andplans to write a new bookdetailing the end of this empire, once number two in the world behind Binance. And according to new information signedDeadline, it turns out that the rights to the work have already found a buyer. You will have understood, it is Apple which would have won the bet.

Competition beaten to the post

According to the specialist magazine, Cupertino would have won the auction ahead of no less than Amazon (Prime Video) and Netflix, its two main competitors in the on-demand streaming market. The contract between the publishers and Apple would be valued atseveral million dollarsaccording to the source, regularly well informed when it comes to future productions prepared by Hollywood.

Note, however, that for once, it is not a series in several episodes that would be on the menu, but rather afeature film. Director Adam McKay may be involved in the project. Also a screenwriter, the producer has already won an Oscar. We recently got to see him behind the camera inDon't Look Up: Cosmic DenialorVice.

What awaits you in video

The FTX debacle, which should therefore be described on Apple TV+, is notably due toassets staked largely on the firm's own token. A very risky investment strategy, which, when revealed in the press, apparently pushed millions of users to flee. From,a major hackwould have sealed the fate of the exchange, grounding at the same time the wallets of thousands of Internet users.

Apple TV+ is available from 6.99 euros per month per user.
