    Though SBF was correct that if you wrote a book, you fucked up.

        iirc he said something like ‘I have no time for books I dont read them only idiots write and read books nowadays’ (actual quote here) and he wrote a book, or at least had somebody write a book for him explaining himself re the lawsuit, Id assume while his lawyers were outside screaming at him to stop.

          Oh lol I googled it and Michael Lewis, the guy who wrote moneyball and the big short (book ver.), wrote “going infinite”, which required following SBF for “the better part of a year.” Apparently people think it is too sympathetic to SBF. Shame if so, I liked moneyball and the big short (movie ver.)

            Well it is the season for previously reliable writers to write fluffbooks (see also Musk) so I would not be surprised if they cash out on their reputation by writing bad books, after all you can’t give good reputation to your kids and grandkids, money otoh.

                Ugh, I’m seeing that book (and face) everywhere, especially at the two bookstores I like the most (that is, the ones closest to me).

                Nobody needs a book on how the author spent a year huffing his current billionaire crush’s farts.
