Tech news site The Information and Vice Media are collaborating on a documentary about crypto exchange FTX and its founder Sam Bankman-Fried, reports Alex Weprin of The Hollywood Reporter.

Weprin wrties, “The doc, SBF and the End of Silicon Valley, will be delivered in Q2 2023 and will feature reporting from The Information‘s crypto and venture capital teams, and Vice’s Motherboard team.
