Abstract

The article focuses on Sam Bankman-Fried's interactions with the fashion world, particularly his engagement with Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue, regarding the Met Gala. Despite his casual attire and lack of interest in fashion, Bankman-Fried entertained Wintour's invitation to the gala but ultimately backed out, leading to outrage from her team. The piece references Michael Lewis's upcoming book, "Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon," which includes anecdotes about Bankman-Fried's celebrity connections and controversial decisions. The book is set to be published on the eve of Bankman-Fried's trial for alleged financial crimes. [Extracted from the article]
