Anthony Boyle and Julia Garner have been cast in Netflix’s upcoming drama series, The Altruists, as leads portraying Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison in a series about the FTX fiasco.
The Altruists will focus on how Bankman-Fried and Ellison defrauded FTX’s investors, leading to their guilty pleas and subsequent prison sentences.
The series, executive produced by Graham Moore and Jacqueline Hoyt, will consist of eight episodes, with James Ponsoldt set to direct the premiere.
Netflix's The Altruists aims to depict the story of two individuals attempting to reshape the financial system quickly, resulting in the theft of $8 billion, and hints at a potential exploration of Bankman-Fried's push for a pardon from Donald Trump.
