Netflix is developing a drama series titled ‘The Altruists’ about the FTX cryptocurrency scandal, starring Anthony Boyle as Sam Bankman-Fried and Julia Garner as Caroline Ellison. The series, produced by Graham Moore and Jacqueline Hoyt, will explore how the two former executives orchestrated the $8 billion fraud of the FTX exchange. The show aims to portray the story of these ambitious idealists who tried to transform the global financial system but ended up embroiled in one of the biggest financial crimes. The eight-episode series will also possibly address the legal consequences both faced, including their prison sentences and Bankman-Fried’s ongoing efforts to seek a presidential pardon.
