What Happened: According to The Hollywood Reporter, the production is a partnership between media outlet Fortune and Unrealistic Ideas, a non-scripted production company co-founded by actors Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson and Archie Gips.

Reports in November said that "Moneyball author Michael Lewis was following Bankman-Fried for the last six months and could have a book in the works.
