Michael Lewis is a very successful author and several of his books have been turned into films. If the PR from the current news cycle doesn't have a big impact on the EA brand (I think highly unlikely) then a Michael Lewis book definitely will.

I honestly think it will be much less prominent than some people here assume, and it will be mostly focused on his rivalry with CZ and personal life.

I fear many people in the community will still obsess over it, in a way that only makes things worse.

Referring to Bankman-Fried and Zhao, the letter circulating in Hollywood said Lewis ”likens them to the Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader of crypto.”

Seems like Bankman-Fried was more like Anakin Skywalker.
