What can we expect from this episode
Sam Bankman-Fried, the geeky math genius with the mop of hair who tried to change the world of crypto but ended up being its biggest loser, could spend a long time behind bars.
His $40 billion company, FTX, which he boasted would take crypto into the mainstream but crashed, leaving more than a million customers with nothing, is the subject of this programme, which airs on the eve of his trial for fraud and money laundering in New York.
The film investigates the many warning signs that were disregarded, such as how his scruffy image, celebrity hype, and promises to give billions away to charity, blinded the world to the alleged crimes that have plunged crypto into crisis through extensive research and interviews with his former associates, staffers, and insiders.
Panorama is a current affairs programme, featuring interviews and investigative reports on a wide variety of subjects.
