The new documentary reveals the entire journey of FTX, from its beginnings to its sudden collapse, with exclusive insider details about Sam-Bankman Fried’s business.

The story of the ex-CEO of the FTX exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried, has interested many writers and producers. Plans to release films based on the history of FTX have already been announced by Amazon, the Russo brothers, and others.

Now it’s the turn of the Bloomberg news portal, which released a documentary about the ex-CEO of FTX. It describes in detail the history of its foundation and collapse.

The video, according to Bloomberg, highlights the “dramatic collapse” of Sam-Bankman Fried’s business. During the filming, the authors used not only already known facts about FTX but also insider information.

The film was directed by Shern Sharma and produced by Maria Gabriela Pezzo. Editor Pat Regnier contributed to the video.

“RUIN is a feature documentary about Sam Bankman-Fried and the stunning collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, as narrated by Bloomberg journalists and some of the central players in the rise of digital assets.”

The future billionaire spent his childhood on the campus of the prestigious Stanford University, which is included in the list of the best universities in the USA and the world.

As a result, starting as a profitable arbitrage trading firm, Alameda has grown into one of the world’s largest producers of digital tokens.

Eighteen months after founding Alameda Research, Bankman-Fried and his team launched the FTX cryptocurrency exchange. Alameda investors were confused by this move, and many refused to finance the new project.

One investor recalls that it seemed strange to him that one Bankman-Fried firm was engaged in trading and another provided such an opportunity. All this could lead to market manipulation.

Journalists claim that Bankman-Fried tried his best to come across as altruistic while having a fortune worth billions of dollars.

Experts say Bankman-Fried espoused a philosophy of effective altruism. This philosophy envisions a field of study and a community of practice whose goal is to find the best ways to help others and put them into practice.

Alameda had $6.1 billion in FTT on its balance sheet. This is at least $1 billion more than the circulating supply of tokens.

Alameda’s other significant assets included SOL tokens – $863 million locked and $292 million unlocked.
