Netflix has released the trailer for an upcoming eight-episode drama centered on the collapse of crypto exchange FTX, according to Cointelegraph. The series focuses on former FTX CEO Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison, his former colleague, girlfriend, and the head of Alameda Research. The show is scheduled to premiere on Nov. 19.
Anthony Boyle will play Bankman-Fried, while Julia Garner will portray Ellison. The trailer highlights one of the themes the series appears to examine: a belief by its characters that “going all-in every time is mathematically the optimal strategy,” a line that appears to reference the high-risk use of customer funds tied to the exchange.
The trailer also includes a line from the Ellison character: “Lying for good reasons is not a bad thing.” Cointelegraph said the quote echoes Ellison’s recollection during Bankman-Fried’s 2023 criminal trial, when she testified that he believed rules against lying and stealing did not necessarily apply to the philosophy of Effective Altruism.
