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

date, going infinite the rise and fall of a new tycoon. It's a gripping real-time narrative

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

of the 21st century. Lewis was granted unprecedented access to his subject, allowing him to

witness Bankman Fried's entire tumultuous journey. We'll learn all about this unconventional

figure who nonchalantly wore cargo shorts and played video games while giving interviews,

but remained a mystery even to his investors. What gave him such an outstanding ability to

make money and what led to the spectacular collapse of his empire? To hear the tale

of an extraordinary individual and a 21st century epic encompassing high-frequency trading

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.
