Netflix releases the trailer for “The Altruists,” an eight-episode limited series starring Anthony Boyle as Sam Bankman-Fried and Julia Garner as Caroline Ellison. The show dramatizes the rise and collapse of FTX, the cryptocurrency exchange tied to the real-life scandal involving the two executives.
Outlets describe the series as focusing on the broader crypto crisis and how Bankman-Fried’s business and personal decisions unravel. ComingSoon highlights Garner’s character building a cryptocurrency “empire,” while The Hollywood Reporter frames the story as Bankman-Fried being caught in a crisis. Variety reports the show’s release date and presents it as drawing from the widely covered FTX saga, casting the relationship between Bankman-Fried and Ellison as central to the narrative.
