Sam Bankman-Fried Was 'Special' Says Author Michael Lewis

In a recent article, author Michael Lewis defended his book "Going Infinite" and his portrayal of disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. Lewis argued that Bankman-Fried's character was not that of a thief but rather someone numb to risk, unable to understand the impact of his actions on others. Despite facing backlash for his book, Lewis maintained that it provided a fuller description of events and allowed for a more nuanced judgment of Bankman-Fried.
