How Michael Lewis’s Book on Sam Bankman-Fried Went Off the Rails

This central section of the book is its weakest. Lewis does not understand cryptocurrency—he admits explicitly, in a bizarre footnote, that he finds crypto “elusive” to understand—and makes a poor guide for an already convoluted tale.
