Apple has reportedly acquired the rights to author Michael Lewis' upcoming book on former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried after a bidding war, paying a whopping $5 million. The book, titled "Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon," is set to be released on October 3rd, coinciding with the start of Bankman-Fried's trial in New York. Alongside the book, a documentary is also said to be in the works, directed by Nanette Burstein, known for films on John McAfee and Hillary Clinton. However, it remains uncertain how these projects will progress due to the ongoing strikes of writers and actors guilds. Bankman-Fried's story has garnered significant attention, from his rise to overseeing billions of dollars in assets to his arrest in the Bahamas. Prior to his arrest, he was known for his casual appearance, often seen in a t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers, but has since appeared in court in a full suit and tie. Other documentaries in the crypto space include ones on QuadrigaCX founder Gerald Cotten and Coinbase co-founder Brian Armstrong.
