The Information and Vice Media to collaborate on FTX documentary

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. FTX’s inexperienced leadership, the role of VCs and Bankman-Fried’s obsession with ‘effective altruism’ will all be dissected in the doc.

“Vice Distribution will sell the project in all territories.

“The project is the first documentary effort for The Information, which was founded by veteran business journalist Jessica Lessin in 2013.

“‘There are so many people involved in this story who should have known better, and did know better,’ said Lessin in a statement.”
