Yes, but people rarely read those documents when I link them. They just want to be mad at Sam because it makes them feel slightly less insignificant in comparison, and there are no consequences when everyone is on your side. Defending him is far more challenging and enlightening. @@Sarah-re7cg
@@Ryan_Christopher "Lewis argued on the podcast that the onetime multibillionaire was not really a thief, as the prosecution alleged, but merely a gambler who simply borrowed customers’ money and then lost it in a lapse of risk management.“The frustration of the courtroom is that neither side is actually operating in the spirit of honesty,” Lewis said. “Both are trying to make a case, taking stuff out of context, blowing things up and making things mean something different than it actually meant back when it was happening.”"
One thing's for sure should you ever find yourself facing federal prison charges Michael is the man to write your biography. It's like once he decided Sam was the hero of his book there was absolutely nothing that could change the trajectory of the plot or his mind about good-guy Sam.
The fact that current FTX CEO John J. Ray III effectively said that Michael’s book offers nothing of worth in helping understand what happened at FTX is pretty telling. The contrast between the details emerging at the trial and Michael Lewis’ assertions, is astounding! This makes me look at all his other books in a new light.
The book is intended as a character observation, not an investigation journalism. Of course it doesn't help much with the investigation. It's like using a fork to eat soup. Wrong tool.
It's nice that he likes SBF, the guy certainly sounds like a character. Sadly, the law doesn't allow co-mingling of funds. Even if it's done by a puppy with a tear in its eye. For precisely these reasons.
I never had a favorite author until I came across Michael Lewis. But as soon as I thought of him as my favorite author, the revelation about the blind side surfaced and now this book. Which seems to be telling a story that is so wildly different to that story that was shown in court that it seems like a PR stunt instead of uncovering the real story I really don’t know what to think right now
Around 3:33 he describes his backstory that he will follow a character and let the story take care of itself. He becomes so infatuated with subject that he has told the story that the subject wants him to tell. There's very little external verification in this book. Just watch the trial instead. Book brought nothing to the table.
Great, concise comment. Thank you and agreed. When laid out how he was going to write his book, I couldn’t help but think “oh, so literally the opposite of how you should cover someone like this. Great!”
I see this, and I think, I can anyone trust anything Lewis has ever written if his story about ftx and SBF is so delusional and plain inaccurate? Also, 10 minutes into this video, I couldn't tell you one thing of substance Lewis said.
It is easy to look smart and buy multi million dollar properties in the Bahamas when you steal the money- until you are caught. So let us see if he is convicted. therefore, Watch out for those persons who do not or give inappropriate response to stimuli.
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.
I loved the big short. I’m curious how in the hell this happened and now I’m questioning how much work Lewis put into the big short because how is this coming about?
I think the reason that Michael has a blind spot here is that he has spent most of his life investigating the underbelly of Wall Street. So I think he cuts SBF more slack than he deserves. He’s just as much of a scanner as all those other sheisters he writes about.
It's fascinating that noone seems to recognize that Bankman Fried is autistic. In interview after interview, commentators marvel at Bankman's indifference toward fashion conventions, his lack of eye contact, apparent difficulty expressing and interpreting facial expressions, history of social isolation, and abstract mathematical talent. These commentators seem to find Bankman inscrutable. Yet, every one of these traits are typical of people with high functioning autism. As a person with high functioning autism, I've been frustrated and dismayed at this apparent lack of social awareness and recognition, and I worry that this failure to recognize Bankman's autism has unfairly biased the public against him. I'm not claiming that the facts against him are not damning. I'm pointing out the way that non-autistic people wrongly interpret his body language, facial expressions, and tone as evidence against him. Non-autistic people unconsciously rely on nonverbal cues to detect sympathy, emotional sincerity, and honesty. They look for eye contact, posture, subtle facial expressions, and tonal shifts to determine whether or not someone is lying and to decipher their emotions. Bankman, as an autistic person is has difficulty producing these behaviors. Unaware of this, people wrongly assume that he is lying, is unsympathetic, and, therefore, must have been guilty of intentional fraud. Autistic people are overrepresented in engineering and mathematics. Many tech celebrities such as Bill Gates and Elon Musk are also autistic. I myself work in tech (I designed computer processors). Mild autism correlates with having a mind that is good with numbers and abstract reasoning, but consistently it coincides with social impairments. Those of us with this trait have to exert significant effort to learn and adapt to non-autistic people (I could relate to the story of Bankman practicing smiling), yet we have much to contribute when given the chance. In cases like these, where someone is accused of a major crime, justice requires that they be given a fair trial - that they be heard out, and given a chance to tell their side of the story. In this case, that requires taking a moment to understand the autistic perspective and see past these impairments.
I have Aspergers and agree with you at a 100% When I looked at some of his videos, the way he speaks, expresses himself, his movements, language, etc etc. I saw it immediately. Not “normal” for the average person. Nonetheless, he clearly did very wrong and that has consequences. He is paying for those actions and must be having a horrible time right now. Specially with anxiety.
Everyone's commenting but noone read the book, its a good read and explains why Michael seems "chipper" about sbf, It really is about HOW sam committed financial fraud, its pretty clear in the book hes guilty, but also why sam doesn't think of himself as a scammer
I agree... Maybe the book paints SBF as being more naive than he actually is but no one gets a pass including Ray who everyone seems to think he eats financial criminals and shits justice money. My impression after reading the book is that SBF is a criminal for making odds on illegal activities until they could be righted with money and/or political pull and having zero empathy for the damage he's caused while playing the victim.
I agree with this, I also read the whole book and I think Lewis' enthusiasm for talking about SBF and what happened should not be mistaken for his enthusiasm for an interesting subject and evaluation of the finance world (which Lewis is far more familiar with than likely most people in the comments are). He is not a stupid man, he is thorough and chose to tell a compelling story about the person rather than the crime or the criminal.
Lewis also wrote "The Blind Side," which the movie is based on. Once he decides who his heroes are going to be, he doesn't let pesky facts get in the way.
The Sam Bankman-Fried character Michael describes definitely has characteristics of sociopathy or even psychopathy - care should be taken not to idolize such dreck.
Lewis sat next to Sam and “didn’t see a thing” while any rationale person could look at a currency backed by ‘who can waste the most CPU cycles the fastest’ was a scam And he’s on intelligence squared … truly ridiculous
I wonder if Michael Lewis has a “soft spot” for sbf, after they spent a substantial amount of time together, and might see sbf as a “surrogate son” especially since Michael Lewis tragically lost his daughter in an accident a couple years ago. Not saying Michael Lewis is right but just speculating if maybe that played a part on how he views sbf.
It's rather amazing to me to see how many people making comments here, watch this and jump to the erroneous conclusion that Lewis is some kind of an apologist for SBF....Lewis is quite clear about his views that SBF has ended up exactly where he belongs.....smh
Notice you are the only person saying that? He repeatedly mused why, if bankruptcy attorneys can salvage the money and investors are made whole, should he be fully prosecuted for the money that investors will eventually get back. He went to write a book with Sam as hero and couldn’t shift when it was clear to everybody Sam was a fraudster.
wow, I watched this video after reading the comments and all I can say is don't judge a book by its cover. Very entertaining video which explains how something like this keeps on happening...
@@venericanone Can you give a quoted example? I’m not saying he’s irreproachable, but it sure seems like the internet’s eagerness to repeat the Current Population Opinion is outpacing the number of people who have read the book
Key criteria for hiring for traders position at Investment banks is the ability to thrive under chaos. Psychopaths do well under chaos where everyone else is frozen. That explains the number of psychopaths who get elevated in these places.
I have always like Lewis's books. Unfortunately he seems either to be a fan boy or he was paid off. Almost nothing of what he says is true at all. Then there is the blindside. Lewis might as well be a fraudster.
