I always love Michael Lewis books I've found. His writing style is really easy to read and does a great job at explaining sometimes complicated financial concepts. In this case I knew very little about SBF beyond his eventual imprisonment, and I always assumed he was a simple crook like a lot of the other crypto guys out there. It seems I was quite wrong about this though, whilst it does feel as though Lewis is maybe leaning a bit towards SBF as the hero rather than villain in this book it does show the shades of grey accompanying this case and gives a detailed history of the man and the company.

I'm already reading The Big Short, and Liars Poker has been one of my favourite books for years, so I will definitely be getting the rest of Lewis' work.
