Re: What books are you reading?
Interesting story. I enjoyed Literary Outlaw more than any of his novels. He was born in 1914 though so would have been around 70 when you met him.Always wearing a nice suit, think he was already between 50 and sixty at that time.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Going Infinite - Michael Lewis
This is the story of Sam Bankman Fried and how he got to where he ended up. The book concludes in 2023 when SBF was first arrested. You know the rest of the story.
I still can't figure out how someone of such high intelligence, but with zero emotional intelligence, can have acted so stupidly. But 25 years? That seems to be a simple way to neatly pile all the blame on one person, whereas there are many more actors in this tragedy - co-workers, lawyers, regulators and, most notably, CZ of Binance.
It's not a long long book, but Lewis weaves the story nicely in a succinct way.
