Hello, I'm journalist and presenter Ritala Shah. I want to let you know about an event

I'm hosting for Intelligent Squared on the 9th of October in London. I'll be talking

to Michael Lewis, the renowned author of best-selling books, including Moneyball, The Big Short,

Flash Boys and Liars Poca. We're going to be discussing his most anticipated work to

telling the story of Sam Bankman Fried, who became the world's youngest billionaire

before his 30th birthday and was behind one of the most catastrophic financial meltdowns

insane amounts of money, hubris and downfall. Join us at 7pm on the 9th of October in London

or online. Just visit IntelligentSquared.com to find out more.
