I just started Michael Lewis's new book, Going Infinite, about Sam Bankman-Fried. A reviewer in The Guardian says that Lewis began with an admiration for "SBF", just as he began "Moneyball" with an admiration for Billy Beane. In that case, Lewis was right: "I know what you're doing. You are arbitraging player value, as you see real value, against..."

Here is the Guardian review, which discusses all of Lewis's work, including Blind Side: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/oct/03/michael-lewis-sam-bankman-fried-crypto-going-infinite

The Post carried a snip from Going Infinite, a section that suggests that SBF did not really understand crypto-currency when he started Alameda Research and FTX.

And bothe the Post and the NY Times have been carrying daily reports from the trial.
