Michael Lewis, the author of "Going Infinite," said being around SBF was a lifestyle "downgrade."
Lewis met Sam Bankman-Fried more than 100 times and interviewed his FTX colleagues for the book.
So I always felt it was a downgrade moving into his world," Lewis told Emily Donaldson in a Wednesday report in The Globe and Mail, a Canadian newspaper.
I would have had as much trouble with this crowd when I was 25," Lewis told Donaldson.
Lewis told CBS's "60 Minutes" the crypto exchange would still be making "tons of money" if there hadn't been a run on customer deposits.
