The BBC Releases A Documentary About Sam Bankman-Fried
Sam Bankman-Fried is the subject of a new documentary from the BBC, which is titled Panorama: Downfall of the Crypto King. The movie tells about the rise of the businessman's multi-billion dollar company and its bright downturn.
The 90-minute film profiles Bankman-Fried as a mop-haired, nerdy math genius, who ended up being a major loser in the crypto world. The movie contains interviews of his former colleagues, classmates, insiders, and analysis of the situation, red flags that were ignored. The movie will also explain how the elaborate image of a simple guy attracted the spotlight, having gained the trust of investors, and how it led to the downfall of the crypto industry.
Tonight on Panorama... the rise and sensational fall of $40bn company FTX, which tried to take crypto mainstream but crashed, leaving more than a million customers with nothing

Those who have already seen the movie note how the BBC managed to cover the events in such a way that all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. However, some wonder if Bankman-Fried deserves such attention after all.
Downfall of the crypto King Sam Bankman -Fried #Panorama was fascinating. How easy it is for fraudsters to con greedy ppl, Madoff got away with it for decades despite financial experts warnings. If ppl are making vast sums of money they don't want to know, until its too late.
