The Saga So Far…
It all started with a vision. Sam Bankman-Fried had a dream to build a crypto exchange that was better than anything that had come before it. And so he set out to do just that. He recruited some of the brightest minds in the industry and together they built FTX.
The exchange quickly grew to become one of the most popular in the world, handling billions of dollars worth of transactions every day. But behind the scenes, all was not well. Tensions were high and tempers flared as the team worked around the clock to keep the exchange running smoothly.
And then, suddenly, it all came crashing down. In November 2022, FTX imploded following the truth coming out about their spurious FTT token and another rival exchange putting the squeeze on the company. The aftermath was chaos as everyone scrambled to figure out what had happened and who was to blame. Since then, more details have emerged about what went wrong at FTX — and who was really responsible for its downfall. The facts have been odd at best and more things come out including polyamorous cults, CEOs who had no idea about crypto, weird physical relationships, drugs, and much more, the biggest being the “effective altruism” farce that was held for so long. Now, finally, we’re going to get the full story in this upcoming miniseries from the Russos.
Marvel Actors Set to Appear in Miniseries?
While we don’t know who will be playing which role yet, we do know that multiple Marvel actors are in talks over roles in the show. This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise given that Joe and Anthony Russo are involved — they have a long history with Marvel Studios having directed some of their biggest films including “Captain America: Civil War,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” and “Avengers: Endgame.”
