Russo Brothers & David Weil Set FTX Crypto Scandal Series At Amazon
deadline.comThe FTX crypto scandal has found even more interested parties. Marvel directors Joe and Anthony Russo have teamed up with Hunters creator David Weil on a series about the collapsed bitcoin business and its embattled founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) for Amazon.
The streamer has ordered an eight-part limited series about the subject. It comes less than 24 hours after Deadline revealed that Amazon was one of the bidders that is set to lose out to Apple to the rights to Michael Lewis’ upcoming book on the topic after the Moneyball author spent six months with SBF.
