Why does it seem like Michael Lewis, who is so good at summarizing people, seem to be arguing that Sam actually meant well.
Was worth?-or was allegedly worth?
These people threw all the money in the world at him. Yet they are using. A black woman venture capital group for giving $20,000 loans to other black women.
Honestly, he should write another book, titled: “Judging Gary, Caroline, and Nishad.” I’d be *much* more intrigued.
9:40 if the “loss amount” is important, what happens when the only losses are caused by trial lawyer fees? It looks like there won’t be any losses except for trial lawyer fees. Then SBF might only need to serve 10 years or so.
Am I the only person who finds the continual use of "Sam" to refer to SBF jarring, and even unprofessional?

Yes. Even during SBF’s “golden days,” it was not particularly uncommon, inside and outside the cypto industry, for people to refer to him as Sam.
