According to ChainCatcher, Michael Lewis, author of the upcoming book "The Fallen Cryptocurrency King Sam Bankman-Fried & FTX," said that SBF had considered paying Trump $5 billion to stop him from running for president. SBF believes that Trump is trying to undermine American democracy and that he "belongs to the risk list." Lewis also said that SBF is also investigating whether this behavior is legal.
As previously reported, 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 Big Short.
