Sam Bankman-Fried was supposed to speak at the WEF's flagship event in Davos.
However, he decided not to show up the night before the event, per Michael Lewis' biography on the disgraced FTX founder.
Lewis wrote SBF would cancel on people "because he'd done some math in his head that proved that you weren't worth the time."
"CEOs had flown to the Bahamas under the mistaken impression that Sam had agreed to buy their companies," Lewis wrote in his book.
The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting is the organization's flagship event held at the end of each January in Davos, Switzerland.
