🚀DeFi enthusiasts, gather 'round! Michael Lewis, the author we all love for exposing financial rot, has a new book coming out, but it's causing quite a stir! 😲
Lewis' latest work, "Going Infinite," seems to paint a rosy picture of Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of the now-bankrupt crypto exchange. But hold up! 🤚 Before we jump to conclusions, let's remember that almost no one has read the book yet, and SBF is set to plead not guilty to fraud charges. 📚
However, Lewis' recent "60 Minutes" interview has raised eyebrows, as he seems to blur the lines between fact and opinion. 🤨 For instance, he suggests that FTX would still be making money if it weren't for a run on customer deposits, missing the point that crypto exchanges aren't banks! 🏦
So, what's going on here? 🤔 Some speculate that Lewis may have conflicts of interest or even be financially entangled with FTX. But let's not forget that people can be complex, and it's possible that Lewis simply wants to see the best in SBF. 🌈
What do you think? Is Lewis risking his reputation for a "misunderstood" man-child, or is there more to the story? Share your thoughts in the comments! 💬👇
