For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle Lewis explores cryptocurrency’s ups and downs, discussing larger-than-life figures and everyday people who lost fortunes. The book chronicles FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s rise to success on Wall Street before facing criminal allegations at 31. FTX, the now bankrupt company, was one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges. Lewis is known for giving readers such deep, emotionally driven stories that they often end up as Hollywood films, such as “Moneyball” and “The Blind Side.” This may very well be the author’s “best book since Moneyball. It’s excellent,” said a review on goodreads.com. “Both a psychological portrait and financial roller-coaster ride, Going Infinite is Lewis at the top of his game,” it added. The author is no finance geek, but he is a good storyteller. Lewis has made a literary career finding jump-off-the-page characters and using them to help tell complicated stories. Lewis had exclusive access to FTX headquarters in the Bahamas and conducted interviews with Bankman-Fried and other top executives.
