  1. "The Career of Nicodemus Dyzma" (Polish title: Kariera Nikodema Dyzmy) is a 1932 Polish bestselling political novel by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz. preaty much everyone in Poland knows it as it has been turned into a movie/TV show three times in 1956, 1980 and 2002(first attempt to change it into a movie was in 1938). And lets be honest here if anyone want to use FTX story and turn it into a movie he can easly be accused of plagiarism. As its story about complete nobody that via conections ending up as a bank CEO... from wikipedia: "He is forced by the spirit of his times and the society around him to become something they need him to become". Ewa Malachowska-Pasek and Megan Thomas translated the novel into English in 2018, and the English-language edition was published in September 2020 by Northwestern University Press. The translation won the Found in Translation Award for 2021. So the question is did Sam read the novel as FTX was established in may 2019?!

  2. One year before FTX was established Polish bestselling novel "The Career of Nicodemus Dyzma" was translated into English, so the question is did Sam took inspiration for his bussines plan from this book? hehe from wikipedia: "Nicodemus Dyzma has become proverbial in Poland as an archetype of the crude opportunist who makes his upwardly-mobile way by dint of fortuitous connections, ruthlessness and the acquiescence of an oblivious society. He is forced by the spirit of his times and the society around him to become something they need him to become." Most of the story is about Dyzma working as a huge Bank CEO...
