In an excerpt from his new book on Sam Bankman Fried, Michael Lewis has an anecdote about the crypto billionaire’s political maneuverings in summer 2022:
“As the plane descended into Washington, he was exploring the legality of paying Donald Trump himself not to run for president. His team had somehow created a back channel into the Trump operation and returned with the not terribly Earth-shattering news that Donald Trump might indeed have his price: $5 billion. Or so Sam was told by his team.”
