在FTX和加密世界遭遇的諸多困境中，紀錄片工作室XTR開始製作一部關於該公司及其聲名狼藉的創始人兼首席執行官薩姆·班克曼-弗裏德的紀錄片。製作的消息是通過《Variety》雜誌公開的。這部未命名的FTX電影已經在製作中，製作過《他們稱我為魔術師》、《浴室見我》以及艾美獎和皮博迪獎得主《76天》等紀錄片的公司負責製作。目前正在巴哈馬群島拍攝，FTX和班克曼-弗裏德於2021年底搬遷到那裏。奧斯卡將執導這部電影，艾美獎提名導演大衛·達格(David Darg)也曾擔任XTR公司的《你不能殺死大衛·阿奎特》和《拉撒路》的製片人。這部尚未命名的電影的執行製片人包括布林·穆澤、凱瑟琳·埃弗雷特和賈斯汀·拉科布。據該工作室稱，這部電影將為“FTX和加密貨幣社區的關鍵參與者提供前所未有的訪問機會。“FTX的崩潰是自華爾街賭博公司(WallStreetBets)在大流行期間擾亂股市以來最轟動的金融故事，它暴露了加密貨幣領域的重大缺陷。”我們的獨家報道和我們的團隊已經到達現場，我們很高興深入報道這個爆炸性的故事，這已經吸引了像湯姆·布雷迪這樣的名人。在不知道線索會帶我們去哪裏的情況下開始這一調查之旅是非常令人興奮的。” Said Lacob, XTR’s head of development. The company filed for bankruptcy last week, and Bankman-Fried was fired as CEO. In subsequent events, some celebrities in Hollywood were also affected by the FTX crisis. On Tuesday, several famous people were named in a class action lawsuit for supporting FTX, including Larry David, Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, and Stephen Curry.
