FTX event to be made into a movie! The director of Women's Top, the popular Taiwanese TV show, will write the script, and netizens speculate that SBF, the founder of FTX, will act in it.
FTX bankruptcy event will be adapted into a movie, with the director of 'Sister, I Am Fine' in charge of the script.
According to an exclusive report from 'Variety', Apple Studios and A24 are co-producing a movie about the bankruptcy of FTX exchange, adapted from Michael Lewis's work 'The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine', and written by the well-known director Lena Dunham.
It is understood that this film will focus on the rise and fall of Crypto Assets exchange FTX, as well as the story of founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF).
On November 3, 2022, CoinDesk exposed FTX's accounting issues, followed by a series of storms that swept through the entire cryptocurrency industry.
At the time, the globally second largest exchange FTX, announced bankruptcy just a few days later. Not only were users unable to retrieve their assets, but multiple enterprises with investment or lending relationships with FTX also suffered significant losses or closures.
"Cointelegraph" further pointed out that after the FTX bankruptcy, several people were sued, including former CEO Caroline Ellison of Alameda Research and former CEO Ryan Salame of FTX Digital Markets.
As for SBF, he was charged by the prosecution with seven counts of wire fraud and conspiracy. The court ultimately sentenced him to 25 years in prison, but the bankruptcy proceedings of FTX are still ongoing. As of November 13, 2024, regular victims are still waiting for compensation.

Netizens speculate on the casting of SBF and Caroline.
After the exclusive report of 'Variety' was shared by independent journalist Tiffany Fong, netizens have come up with many interesting speculations about who will play SBF and Caroline Ellison.
Among them, the founder of DOGE coin, Shibetoshi Nakamoto, jokingly said that Lena Dunham could play both SBF and Caroline, while netizens speculated the following possibilities for other candidates to play SBF:
Jonah Hill: once played Danny Porush in "The Wolf of Wall Street" and Peter Brand in "Moneyball"

Jesse Eisenberg: once played Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in "The Social Network"

Seth Rogen: He played Steve Wozniak in the movie Jobs and Gavin Belson in The Stupidity Effect.

As for the choice of actress to play Caroline Ellison, netizens have nominated Anya Taylor-Joy, the protagonist of 'The Queen's Gambit', and some have suggested Kristen Schaal, the voice actress from 'Adventure Time', to play the role.
"Infinite Storm" once topped the bestseller list
The book 'Going Infinite' will be issued in October 2023, just when SBF is being tried in New York.
The book focuses on the depiction of SBF's 'effective altruism' philosophy and how this philosophy may have influenced his decision to misappropriate client funds. The book also provides readers with a glimpse of the rise and fall of FTX and SBF's character from the perspective of Natalie, a female employee from Taiwan.
Although the book has topped the New York Times bestseller list since its release and has been well received, it has also sparked some criticism. Some critics have pointed out that the author seems to downplay SBF's actions and his impact on millions of investors.
Regardless of the evaluation, the FTX and SBF story has indeed inspired a lot of creations. In addition to books and movies, the BBC aired a documentary last year called 'The Fall of the Encryption King', repeatedly reminding investors of the risks of centralized exchanges and the importance of a mature regulatory environment.
The FTX event will be made into a movie! The director of the popular TV show 'Women's Big' will write the script, and netizens guess that SBF will play the role. This article was originally published in 'encryption city'.
