Streaming platform Netflix has released a trailer for "The Altruists", a project adapting one of the loudest scandals in the cryptocurrency industry: the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange, a platform for trading digital currencies.
What happened to FTX
Almost four years have passed since FTX collapsed. In the course of those events, the company's founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, ended up behind bars. Client funds worth about 9 billion dollars were also lost, described in the source as having "vanished into thin air".
From scandal to screen
The story proved so dramatic that ideas for films and series based on it appeared soon afterwards. The Netflix trailer continues that interest, as the large streaming platform turns the story into an on-screen work.
The trailer's release gives viewers a first look at how the events of the scandal will be portrayed. Further details about the project's content, cast or premiere date are not given in the source excerpt.
