Our podcast on markets, the economy and business. This week, the first in a two-part series tracking the rise and fall of crypto—and asking what comes next
In downtown Manhattan, what is perhaps the biggest event in the history of crypto is playing out: the trial of Sam Bankman-Fried. SBF, as he’s known, is accused of masterminding a fraud that left $8bn in customer funds missing; he has pleaded not guilty. This week, we hear from author Michael Lewis, who was there for the rise and fall of SBF’s crypto empire. Next week, we speak to the man who wants to take his crown. Runtime: 40 min
Hosts: Tom Lee-Devlin, Mike Bird and Alice Fulwood. Guests: Michael Lewis.
