▶ 21:06 Michael Lewis When I was working on Going Infinite, I was working on the Sam Bankman Freed book, and, um, I was talking to a publicist, completely unrelated to Warren Buffett, and she said, you know, I also represent Warren, and she said, and I told…
▶ 1:03:07 Michael Lewis With Sam Beckman-Fried, I was a year into it, and I did not know what I was gonna do with it until it blew up, and then I thought,

▶ 1:15:26 Ben Gilbert Like, I feel super self-conscious that we interviewed Sam Bankman Freed, and like, you know, we're not investigative journalists.
▶ 1:17:29 Ben Gilbert To revisit the SBF interview in particular, I haven't listened to it in a long time.

▶ 17:48 Ben Gilbert I mean, you could argue that we did have a part to play in FTX because Sam was on the show last year, but like, there was so much good coverage and good reporting going on, and we're not reporters, and we don't do stuff in real time, blah,…
▶ 20:46 Ben Gilbert We probably just should directly say, we totally had Sam on.

▶ 1:07:26 Anthony Gonzalez Sam Bankman-Fried basically grew up on Stanford's campus.
▶ 1:09:23 Anthony Gonzalez So Sam Benkrenfried, he was in Washington not terribly long ago, and he said they've done acquisitions using stable coins.

▶ 26:32 David Rosenthal That was still, that was one of the most surreal, okay, this is the most surreal moment of Acquired, but, uh, that might have been second, when we were interviewing Sam.
▶ 26:41 Ben Gilbert This is Sam Bankman-Fried, the CEO of FTX, who Mario wrote a three-part unbelievable series on.

▶ 4:01 Ben Gilbert Longtime listeners will remember Serum coming up in the interview with Sam Bankman-Fried, and also our interview with Anatoly, where they discussed how the speed, efficiency, and low transaction costs wouldn't be possible without Solana's…

▶ 2:29:30 David Rosenthal We had Sam SPF from FTX on,
▶ 2:29:48 David Rosenthal He's the wealthiest person, I think under 30 in the world because he works in technology and started a cryptocurrency firm.
▶ 2:29:57 Ben Gilbert Well, he works in modestly regulated finance using technology.
