Good casting?
>Anthony Boyle (“Masters of the Air”) and Julia Garner (“Ozark”) have signed on to play the leads in “The Altruists,” a new Netflix limited series that will chart the real-life rise and fall of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange.
>Boyle will play FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, while Garner will star opposite him as Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research, the cryptocurrency trading firm co-founded by Bankman-Fried. For their roles in FTX’s implosion, both Ellison and Bankman-Fried were indicted on, among other crimes, counts of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Ellison is currently serving a two-year prison sentence for her crimes, while Bankman-Fried was sentenced in 2024 to 25 years in prison.
>Netflix’s logline for “The Altruists” promises that the series will tell the story of how "Bankman-Fried and Ellison, a pair of hyper-smart, ambitious young idealists, tried to remake the global financial system overnight only to seduce, coax and tease each other into stealing $8 billion." The eight-episode limited series comes from co-showrunners Graham Moore (“The Imitation Game”) and Jacqueline Hoyt (“The Underground Railroad”).
