Unregulated Empire: FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried

Unregulated Empire: FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried is a gritty investigative account of one of the largest financial collapses of the digital age. Told with a hard-edged, documentary tone, the series traces how a crypto exchange built on speed, trust, and charisma concealed deep structural risks while operating outside meaningful oversight. As markets turned and confidence cracked, the promise of safety unraveled, exposing alleged misuse of customer funds and a system that depended on belief more than boundaries. What followed was not just a corporate failure, but a global reckoning over power, accountability, and the cost of unchecked innovation.
