A trailer meant to build hype just detonated in the crypto community — and not the way Netflix intended.
On Oct 9, former FTX COO Constance Wang posted on X that the full trailer for Netflix's eight-episode FTX drama "The Altruists" made her "physically throw up." She called its portrayal of the 2022 collapse inaccurate: the real FTX ran on fewer than 200 core employees working 16-to-18-hour days — "the place I worked looked nothing like" the party-in-the-Bahamas narrative.
Wang also disputes the show's framing of Caroline Ellison, saying most staff only learned about her relationship with Sam Bankman-Fried after the bankruptcy. The series premieres Nov 19, 2026.
Hollywood wants a love story; the people who lived through the wreckage want a reckoning. Which version will history remember?

Netflix's full-length trailer for its FTX limited series "The Altruists" has dropped, drawing fire from someone who was there. On Oct 9, former FTX COO Constance Wang posted on X that watching the trailer made her "physically throw up" — saying the show's portrayal of the 2022 collapse was grossly inaccurate: FTX had fewer than 200 core employees, working 16–18 hours a day, and there was no "wild party scene in the Bahamas." Most employees didn't learn about SBF and Caroline Ellison's relationship until after the bankruptcy. The eight-episode series premieres Nov 19.
Hollywood wants to tell a love story; those who lived through it just want the truth. Which version will history remember?
