Michael Lewis explores the unconventional life of Sam Bankman-Fried in new book

Michael refuses to accept he's wrong! 😂

It think Sam is one of the greatest con artists of all time. I think this interview proves that.

Spoken like a man realizing he wasted all that time writing a book praising a scumbag but couldn't bring himself to re-write the book or significantly change the direction after the facts came out. Sheesh, what a schmuck. While CBS somewhat played softball, I appreciate that they at least implied what Michael Lewis was saying, was book-selling BS.

Lol CBS calling out Lewis was pretty funny.

How am I supposed to feel bad for this sociopath? You're calling crypto a fraud? this has nothing to do with crypto and everything to do about financial fraud done by a criminal. Michael Lewis still cannot admit that he was fooled.

The fact Michael can sit there and talk about Sam admitting to having no empathy, then turn around and defend what he did makes me rethink every piece of work he's ever done.

He's describing a sociopath and decidedly not a genius.

So Michael was hired by his parents, it looks like it...

Based on his estrangement from normal human feelings, San Bankman-Fried appears to be a classic case of Asperger syndrome.

Mr. Lewis could be describing my oldest child who has autism.

“he took you for a walk”

just goes to show that anyone can fall for a pump and dump scheme

Lewis must be compromised as he was sympathetic and freinds with SBFs parents! He definitely is dillusional if he thinks SBF was innocent. Lewis may have lost his congnitive abilities from the death of his 19 year old daughter.

"😅Hahaha 😡 IM NOT DUMB" Well, considered that nerve touch.

I am autistic. ASD1. What used to be called Asperger’s. I’m wondering if Sam Bankman-Fried was evaluated for autism. Here in this segment he is portrayed as a sociopath. The camera zooms in on his bouncing leg. This is stimming. He is described as looking in the mirror and learning how to look like other people. This is called masking. “He had to learn how to pretend to laugh.” Obviously he has committed a crime and this must be addressed, but this story is yet another example of how misunderstood autism is. Maybe if this person had gotten help he would not have gone down such a disastrous path. A blind person gets a cane, braille, a seeing eye dog. A person who can’t walk gets a wheelchair. Autistic people often go undiagnosed and unhelped. The struggle to fit in often suppresses empathy and facial expressions because all your energy is going into processing information, masking, fitting in. Being autistic and not knowing it is extremely difficult. So much is happening to you and around you that you cannot understand. You do not hear, think, or process information the same way that neurotypical people do. But no one can see it so you are often viewed as annoying, “lacking empathy,” “lacking emotion,” freakish, and suspect. Again, the stigma about empathy and emotion happens because the autistic person is putting a Herculean effort into trying to process information such that empathy and emotions are suppressed and diverted into a background compartment. The truth is that autistic people are often MORE empathic and emotional than neurotypicals but those traits are not VISIBLE in the moment because of the effort going into real time events. A neurotypical person’s pathway is ABCD whereas a neurodivergent person’s pathway could be A MZBYFGXRE. An autistic person can be very intelligent. An autistic person has what are called Special Interests. This is when you learn everything there is to learn about a topic. You research it and study it in depth; however, your ability to APPLY the information gained from this special interest could be affected by undiagnosed autism. I hope that this segment will be followed up with another one where there is more awareness brought to what undiagnosed autism looks like. I believe this person is being portrayed as a sociopath when in fact he might be undiagnosed autistic, in which case all his energy over many years could have been going into fitting in with society, feeling like a misfit, having a lot of intelligence with a compromised ability to apply it, and generally getting severely messed up due to the lack of diagnosis, help, support, and accommodations that are given to people who have disabilities that are visible to others.

“I’m not dumb” who’s gonna tell him?

If this individual doesn't spend the rest of his miserable life in prison. The Legal system is broken!

I lost all respect for Michael Lewis. He has all of Sam's facts, read the government findings Michael, you sold your soul to the devil!

All rotten eggs in one deplorable basket👁️☠️

Lewis used to be one of my favourite writers but I had to do a 180 after his insane defence of SBF It was hard to watch and made me question the accuracy of every single book of his that I had read. Never reading anything of his ever again. What a joke.
