It doesn't care that you love visiting your grandmother. It doesn't care that you recently finished chemotherapy. It doesn't care about the collateral damage.

The world doesn't care that you really, heart the world doesn't care that you really really needed something fate and fortune are indifferent objective merciless they just keep marching on we can get upset about this we can take it personally but why that doesn't change anything except to make us extra unhappy on top all we can do is accept what they are all we can do is accept what they are, all we can do is accept what is and what it represents. All we can do is fight to protect ourselves and the people we care about. All we can do is continue to hold ourselves to the standards we believe in. All we can do is live while we can.

FTX Founder's Sam Bankman Freed lived that dream life, but it was all funded with other people's money, but he allegedly stole. Many thought Sam Bankman Freed was changing the game as he graced the pages of Forbes in Vanity Fair.

Some involved in crypto saw him as a breath of fresh air, from the usual Wall Street buffs with his casual dress and ability to play League of Legends during boardroom meetings. But in less than a year, his exchange would collapse. An SPF would find himself in a jail cell, with tens of thousands of investors blaming him for their crypto losses. From Bloomberg and Wondery comes Spellcaster, a new six-part docu-series about the meteoric rise and spectacular fall of FTX, and its founder, Sam Beckman-Freed.
