Gideon Lewis-Kraus reviews “Going Infinite,” Michael Lewis’s biography of Sam Bankman-Fried, the cryptocurrency wunderkind who stands accused of fraud.
Bankman-Fried, the son of two Stanford Law School professors, seemed to have walked out of a cave one day and become one of the richest people in the world: according to Forbes, which at one point conservatively estimated his fortune at about twenty-six billion dollars, he was second only to Mark Zuckerberg in the speed of his wealth accumulation.
” Many people, myself included, felt that even the sketchy lineaments of this story should have forced the E.A. movement to reckon with Bankman-Fried’s slipperiness sooner. And Bankman-Fried, in his relationships with his erstwhile colleagues, could be monstrous. In this as in basically all other instances, Lewis makes it clear that he acted like an asshole.
