6. Sex, Lies and Offshore Empires: How a Bahamas Startup Worth $32 Billion Became a Mirage

Sam Bankman-Fried is a 30-year-old American cryptopreneur who ran a sprawling empire of 134 entities (including in Jersey) worth tens of billions of dollars from an offshore aerie in the Bahamas. With a bunch of his closest friends. Some of whom were romantically entangled. He is now denying stealing billions of dollars in customer funds from house arrest. If there's ever been a story like this, we haven't heard it.    BONUS: A spirited discussion on Prince Harry's very strange memoir, "Spare," and what we believe to be the love quotient of the UK Royal Family.
