It all began in a movement called "Effective Altruism"; the idea of building personal wealth for the sole purpose of giving it away. What followed was the precipitous rise and fall of Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto empire. More than a timeline of the bitcoin/crypto/blockchain boom, it's a fascinating sociological study of "SBF", his minions, and the public (including the likes of Tom Brady) drawn in and losing millions through this enterprise. As I write this, he stands trial for fraud and money laundering, and faces life in prison. He of course claims innocence, and those closest to him share the belief that there is "something missing" in his personality that makes it impossible for him to understand that he could have caused such misery and financial ruin to anyone.
As for crypto-currency, I still just don't get it! ~ Reviewed by Lauren Singer

Cin Fabre is a heroine "before her time", a projects-raised hustler (i.e. tremendously hard worker but also wheeler-dealer) living life on her own terms, fighting off the endless misogyny of her male peers and supervisors and forcing her way into the boys' club through virtue of both "nature" and "nurture." The “nurture” of her driven but non-affectionate mother and negligent and abusive father, and the quick, calculating and determined nature she inherited from both. Her unprecedented success at an early age and as a minority woman in the questionable moral morass of a Wall St cold-calling brokerage may bring the reader to the book, but the haunting tales of her Bronx childhood that she has brought to life so vividly here are the richest part of her story. ~ Reviewed by Jon Fine
