Are you seriously suggesting that it’s a coincedence and not deliberate action on the side of Lewis? It’s not like there has been a shortage of people being perplexed by FTX/Alameda’s ability to seemingly print money, and it’s not like he wouldn’t be able to smell a potentially great story ahead of time.
Lewis supposedly compared SBF to Luke Skywalker fighting the CZ Darth Vader. It seems to me the book was meant to be a hagiography like Flash Boys.
