Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, has criticized the media’s favorable portrayal of Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the founder of FTX, who is currently facing a criminal trial. Hoskinson referred to SBF as “the Bernie Madoff of my generation” and expressed disapproval of the elite support he has received, particularly in a new book by Michael Lewis titled ‘Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon’. Hoskinson accused the book of being an “apology tour” and suggested that the positive narrative surrounding SBF is a result of his connections with influential individuals. Others in the cryptocurrency community, such as blockchain investigator CoffeeZilla and crypto commentator Dan Held, have also criticized Lewis’s book for its defense of SBF and its failure to address the financial consequences for victims of FTX’s collapse. This situation highlights the need for transparent and ethical reporting in the decentralized finance space. The ongoing discussion raises questions about media ethics, accountability, and the role of influential networks in shaping narratives around critical financial events.
