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

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
