Netflix previews FTX scandal drama The Altruists
Netflix has released a trailer for The Altruists, an eight-episode series about the rise and fall of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which will begin streaming on November 19. The show stars Anthony Boyle as Sam Bankman-Fried and Julia Garner as Caroline Ellison, focusing on their relationship and the business decisions behind FTX. FTX collapsed in 2022 after customer funds went missing, leading to Bankman-Fried's fraud conviction and a 25-year prison sentence.
Netflix's eight-part drama The Altruists arrives Nov. 19. Its trailer shows Anthony Boyle as Sam Bankman-Fried and Julia Garner as Caroline Ellison, tracing their meeting and the choices that shaped FTX's operations.
Bankman-Fried and Gary Wang launched FTX, which began inside Alameda Research, the trading firm he and Ellison co-founded. The pair shared an effective-altruism outlook, valuing lucrative work if proceeds went to charity. FTX handled about $10 billion daily before its 2022 downfall, when missing customer money triggered withdrawals. Ellison later testified Bankman-Fried told her to use those funds for property, political gifts, and Alameda. He was convicted on seven fraud and conspiracy charges, sentenced to 25 years, and lost an appeal.
