I lost a lot of respect for Lewis over the book. He gave a wildly charitable and apologetic take on SBF's blatant fraud and incompetence. I'd suggest reading it (or watching any related interviews with Lewis) -- but I don't think this is a particularly unpopular take.

Comes up in most (all?) reviews, like this one, where the subtitle reads:

> The Moneyball author develops a misguided soft spot for fallen crypto king Sam Bankman-Fried

It reads like, with full knowledge now of what was really happening, that Lewis ate up all the lies and baloney he was fed the whole time he was interviewing SBF.
