According to ChainCatcher, Michael Lewis, author of The Big Short, revealed in his new book Going Infinite that former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was worried that his employees would become rich by holding a large number of SRM tokens and might no longer be willing to work up to 14 hours a day for his crypto trading platform due to the sharp rise in the price of Serum (SRM) tokens in 2021. Therefore, Bankman-Fried modified the release rules of SRM tokens and locked employees' SRM tokens for seven years.

It is reported that Michael Lewis' new book about SBF, "Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon", is scheduled to be published on October 3. Multiple sources revealed that Apple acquired the copyright of the book for $5 million. Michael Lewis's other works include "The Fallen Cryptocurrency King Sam Bankman-Fried & FTX" and "The Big Short".
