Sam Bankman-Fried


Listen Later

Back in the 80’s you had the surfer bros out in California and of course the Wall St. bros on the east coast. Time evolves and we had to endure the popped-collar Jersey Shore bros, and most recently we may have run into the most annoying version of them, the crypto bros. And this show is about none other than the king of the crypto bros, Sam Bankman-Fried.  SBF (as the bros call him) made a massive splash as he took his company, FTX, to the top of the crypto world in very short order.  There were celebrity endorsements, cutting-edge software and lots and lots of money to be made.  Until it all came crashing down and the ponzi scheme SBF had been running was brought to light and he now gets share a cell block with Diddy and Luigi.  What got Sam into the crypto space to start with?  Did his upbringing lead him down the path he went down?  Is he going to trim those curly locks in prison?  We’ll dive into this and a whole lot more in the Sam Bankman-Fried episode of AHC Podcast.
