Apple and art house film company A24 are in early development on a film about convicted crypto scammer Sam Bankman-Fried with a script written by Lena Dunham, Variety reported. The project will be based on the Michael Lewis book Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon that many critics found overly deferential to Bankman-Fried.

Lena Dunham will adapt "The Big Short" author Michael Lewis' "Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon" about Sam Bankman-Fried for an A24 film.

The two crypto exchanges have a history of bad blood. Changpeng Zhao, the co-founder and former CEO of crypto exchange Binance, may have thought his legal troubles were over when he was recently released from prison.
