Members of the crypto community published their sentiments on social media in response to the former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried\u2019s reportedly meeting with Michael Lewis, the writer of the popular trading-focused film, The Big Short.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With a potential blockbuster film seemingly on the way, community members called out Bankman-Fried\u2019s antics, from describing<\/a> the meeting as \u201cabsurd\u201d to saying that Lewis should also be investigated. <\/p>\n

In a tweet, a community member mentioned<\/a> that this could be an attempt to cover for criminals and \u201ccontrol the narrative\u201d through a book. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) advocate Nic Carter suggested<\/a> that Lewis also needs to be investigated, as the writer shadowed Bankman-Fried for six months without detecting anything suspicious. <\/p>\n

Goldbug Peter Schiff also commented<\/a> on the issue. According to Schiff, if Bankman-Fried is the source of the story, it will be a \u201cwork of fiction.\u201d The American stock broker suggested that Lewis should piece together what truly happened by speaking to more reliable sources. <\/p>\n

Some members of the community are already comparing the film\u2019s content with other films. A member of the community thinks<\/a> that the movie might be another Wolf of Wall Street but with \u201cgross, ugly people,\u201d while another said<\/a> that it\u2019s only watchable if Bankman-Fried would drop some names and \u201cthey all go down.\u201d Meanwhile, one Twitter user believes it doesn\u2019t have the same potential as The Big Short. They wrote: <\/p>\n

While some are worried about movie content, others focus on finances. A community member floated<\/a> the idea of Bankman-Fried paying what is owed to FTX users through profits from the potential blockbuster film.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Days after Bankman-Fried was released on bail, Alameda Research wallet addresses showed movements. Some of the funds were converted into Bitcoin using decentralized exchanges like FixedFloat and ChangeNow, platforms that are often used by exploiters to hide the routes of their transactions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
