Ruin: Money, Ego and Deception at FTX.
This is a late edition to this post as I just watched it last night. The first half is a bit slow as it lays out how “The JP Morgan of Crypto-Currency”, Sam Bankman-Fried, built his reputation and fame. I am being disingenuous as a bit slow is an under statement. It is kind of a dull slog really.
If you can make it through the setup. In the second half as it delves into the inner workings of FTX and it primary competitor Binance it gets really good. How Bianace crushed FTX in a five day period really is a master stroke of business strategy. How terribly run FTX was is another masterclass of how not to run a business.
It really is wild the power of personality and celebrity worship that allowed The JP Morgan of Crypto to earn and spend billions of dollars. All by selling a lie.
I rewatched Hell or High Water. This was back when Sheridan didn’t write via the regurgitation and recycle method.
Sheridan has a three flick streak that was one for the ages.
I am surprised I've never heard of this movie, sounds pretty cool! Cheers!
Wow..
Sheridan’s big three are:
I highly recommend all three if you into modern westerns and highly recommend them if you just like really good movies.
Skip Sicario: The Day of the Soldodo. It is a steaming pile of dogshit.
