In a turbulent storm of accusations surrounding the controversial founder of the defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), a new voice has arisen, making direct claims of elite intervention on his behalf. Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has published a scathing critique of what he sees as an orchestrated attempt to rehabilitate SBF.
In a tweet, Hoskinson declared , “Looking at Michael Lewis’s dumpster fire of a book, there seems to be a group of people in the elite circles who desperately want to somehow get a public exoneration for SBF. We saw this with the kid gloves treatment by the New York Times and now a book that’s basically an apology tour.”
The book in question, “Go Infinite” by Michael Lewis, delves into the rise and fall of Bankman-Fried and his FTX empire. However, the Cardano founder’s sentiment echoes a growing concern among some in the crypto community. Renowned YouTuber Coin Bureau remarked, “It’s a stark contrast with the breakdown of the brazen crimes that are being brought to light in the trial. One can only hope the jury isn’t swayed in any way by that rag of a book.”
