406 | Zeke Faux: Inside Sam Bankman-Fried & Crypto's Rise and Fall
Zeke Faux, investigative reporter for Bloomberg Businessweek, New America National Fellow, and author of Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall, joins The Realignment. Zeke and Marshall discuss how Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) conned his way into the halls of power in Washington, DC, why crypto failed to develop a clear use case for consumers during the bull run, the quest for community, the perils of financialization, and his time with everything from the Bored Ape Yacht Club to Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador.
