Hot on the heels of the release of ‘Dumb Money,’ a film spotlighting the GameStop short squeeze, another gripping tale from investment banking is poised to hit our screens.<a href="http://bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0gffn3y/panorama-downfall-of-the-crypto-king"> This time,The British Broadcasting Corporation’s (BBC) ‘Panorama’ </a>&nbsp;delves into the dramatic journey of ‘Crypto King’ Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). This upcoming documentary promises to provide an exciting and gripping account of the rise and fall of a crypto icon. 
BBC is all set to unveil a highly anticipated documentary focusing on the founder of FTX, Bankman-Fried. The documentary sheds light on the tumultuous saga of cryptocurrency platform FTX and its increasingly infamous leader, Sam Bankman-Fried. 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 The documentary’s official synopsis read, “Sam Bankman-Fried, the mop-haired, nerdy maths genius who set out to transform the world of crypto but ended up being its biggest loser, is facing the prospect of a lengthy prison sentence. On the eve of his trial for fraud and money laundering in New York, this program reveals the breakneck rise and sensational fall of his $40 billion company, FTX, which he had boasted would take crypto into the mainstream but crashed, leaving more than a million customers with nothing.” 
</blockquote> 
Bankman-Fried stepped down as the CEO of FTX on November 11, making way for John J. Ray III, a figure known for his involvement in handling the bankruptcy and restructuring of Enron. A day after FTX declared bankruptcy, on November 12, Sam Bankman-Fried found himself in an interview with the Royal Bahamas Police Force.&nbsp; 
If Bankman-Fried is found guilty of wire fraud or conspiracy, he could spend a long time in prison. His trial linked to FTX and Alameda Research begins next week. The cryptocurrency billionaire will stay in jail until his trial on October 3. He’s facing fraud charges because of his company’s collapse in November 2022, which led to bankruptcy.
