SBF gets a free pass from the media

The Cardano founder argued that a review of the biography of SBF written by American author and financial journalist Michael Lewis revealed that a group of elite circles wanted to absolve SBF of blame for what happened at FTX before its collapse.

Hoskinson noted that attempts to make SBF appear innocent were also evident in the careful way in which The New York Times has treated him since news of his misconduct emerged. Now, Lewis has released a book, which he calls the “Apology Tour.”

“Given the dumpster fire of Michael Lewis’ book, there seems to be a group of people in elite circles who desperately want to somehow get a public exoneration for the SBF. We’ve seen that with the kid glove treatment by the New York Times and now a book that’s a tour de force Basically an apology.

Relaying an unknown character

Lewis released “Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon” on the start date of the SBF’s criminal trial. In the book, he talked about the rise and fall of SBF in the cryptocurrency industry, and portrayed him as someone who ventured into this sector with pure intentions, such as saving humanity from extinction, but made mistakes when things got out of control, and FTX grew too fast.

The author said the book was a message to the jury that would decide SBF’s fate, and told a story that neither the prosecution nor the defense team would tell. He further explained that SBF had always been misunderstood and misread, and that the book would convey a character the world did not know.

Hoskinson’s tweet echoes that of pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton, who… Insists That people who see SBF as a good guy who made mistakes should never be responsible for other people’s money.
