Apple and A24 to Adapt Sam Bankman-Fried's Story into Film

Lena Dunham will write the screenplay based on Michael Lewis's book about the rise and fall of the FTX founder.

  • Sam Bankman-Fried, once a prominent figure in cryptocurrency, was convicted of fraud and sentenced to 25 years in prison.
  • The film will be based on Michael Lewis's book 'Going Infinite,' which details Bankman-Fried's rapid rise and dramatic fall.
  • Lewis's book has been criticized for its sympathetic portrayal of Bankman-Fried, despite his conviction for embezzling billions.
  • Lena Dunham, known for creating 'Girls,' will adapt the book for the screen, marking another collaboration between Apple and A24.
  • Several other projects about the FTX collapse are also in development, including an Amazon series by the Russo brothers.
