Quotes from Michael Lewis IRL last night re SBF: “He didn’t respect other people enough to accept their help. He thought everyone over the age of 30 was an idiot.” “SBF went from nothing to $22B in 18 months. You used to have to do things to make money.” “He wasn’t born with the tools to empathize.”

in retrospect, i’m surprised that the media and crypto twitter called him an SBF apologist. after reading his book, there are pretty damning passages about SBF. the book is set up like Gone Girl; the first half builds up a facade and the second half tears it down. the build up is required for the epic tear down.

Personally, after reading it I still felt like Lewis let SBF off easy. I was disappointed he didn’t (1) press SBF for more tangible explanations and (2) never really dug into the story from Caroline or Gary’s pov. I agree with the two part build up but the tear down could’ve/should’ve been even more epic.
