Netflix Greenlights FTX Crash Drama – Julia Garner Eyed for Caroline Ellison Role

Hollywood pounces on crypto’s most spectacular trainwreck: Netflix fast-tracks an FTX series, with ’Ozark’ star Julia Garner in talks to play disgraced Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison.

The ultimate ’rug pull’ gets the prestige TV treatment—just as Sam Bankman-Fried’s prison sentence hits the halfway mark. Because nothing says ’financial reckoning’ like A-list actors dramatizing your failures for 50 million subscribers.

Wall Street’s still licking wounds from the crypto contagion? Perfect timing. Nothing heals like schadenfreude served in 4K HDR.
