Netflix has released the first trailer for its upcoming miniseries 'The Altruists,' which dramatizes the rise and collapse of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and his former partner Caroline Ellison. The series covers the events that led to the implosion of the crypto exchange and the subsequent fallout.
Netflix released a trailer for 'The Altruists,' a scripted series dramatizing the collapse of FTX, starring Anthony Boyle as Sam Bankman-Fried and Julia Garner as Caroline Ellison. The show premieres November 19, and co-showrunner Graham Moore said he was drawn to the real-life stories of both central figures.
Sam Bankman-Fried has asked the US Supreme Court to grant him a new trial and to void the $11 billion forfeiture order tied to his 25-year prison sentence. His appeal centers on a claim that the trial judge wrongly barred evidence showing his investments could have ultimately covered FTX customer losses, and that the forfeiture amount violates the Eighth Amendment's ban on excessive fines. The 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals had already rejected these arguments earlier this year before the case reached the high court.
