No. There. I just saved you all a bunch of time.
-
This guy overlooks that much of the personality Sam created for himself was fake. He admitted to it and just look at how he allowed his parents to profit from their connections with Sam...
-
that what's wrong with the society now these days, we are supposed to admire criminals ?
-
To borrow from Mr. Steve Eisman, “They mistake leverage for genius. “ I want to add they can hurt you with that kind of leverage.
-
He is clearly smitten by SBF who treats life like a videogame. In an alter world where there is no risk and consequences doesn't matter.
-
Was SBF intelligent - probably; was he devious - definitely; did he display sociopathic behaviour - definitely; did he behave unethically - absolutely; was he devoid of empathy - yes; is Michael Lewis missing the point of embezzlement - sadly Yes.
-
how much you got paid to muddle the water? it's a simple and clear case of precalculted frauld.
-
I bet Sam's parents LOVE Michael Lewis
-
Effective altruism = greed is good
-
Michael Lewis’s defensiveness on full display.
-
No he is a fraudster.
-
The old story since time immemorial: GREED on everyone's part
-
Took way too many irrational risks. Reckless behaviour needed to end before it became a billion $ blow up.
-
12:20 that face when you know you lost all journalist integrity
-
Michael Lewis trying to play Nick Carraway in Great Gatsby? Is SBF the ugly Jay Gatsby?
-
Ah yes, from his culture's point of view, destroying your host is the ultimate display of skill
-
Not a nice man. Hard to watch this.
-
Michael Lewis has completely ruined his reputation during this period of defending SBF
-
Nothing but smitten with a conman's game. Ridiculous that he could be pulled in so deep that FTX crumbling has left him scrambling to double down or face the truth.
-
How we create false images What a disaster.
