Sam Bankman-Fried's saga is one that highlights not only the chaotic rise and meteoric fall of a financial figure but also serves as a cautionary tale for all those engaged in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency. Born in 1992 to two Stanford law professors, Sam's intellectual prowess manifested early; he gravitated towards logic puzzles and probabilities—a penchant that later morphed into a fascination with trading and risk. While studying physics at MIT from 2010 to 2014, he found hims...
