Paraphrased Text:
Bankman-Fried, a billionaire in the crypto industry, had a casual attire consisting of a wrinkled T-shirt and baggy cargo shorts. However, as accusations of being involved in crypto-related crimes emerged, he started wearing an ill-fitting suit. Despite his lack of concern for fashion, influential figures like Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue, initially showed interest in him. In Michael Lewis's upcoming book, details are revealed about Bankman-Fried's disinterest in attending the prestigious Met Gala, even after accepting Wintour's invitation. During a Zoom call, Bankman-Fried seemed uninterested while playing a video game, leading Wintour to end the conversation. Bankman-Fried's team still planned for his attendance, attempting to design a fancy outfit and spending a substantial amount on cufflinks. Eventually, Bankman-Fried decided not to attend the gala, causing outrage among Wintour's team. The book, titled "Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon," also includes other undisclosed anecdotes about Bankman-Fried, such as his contemplation of paying Donald Trump to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. With the book's release scheduled for the start of Bankman-Fried's trial, this high-profile white-collar criminal case is expected to gain significant media attention. A statement from Vogue disputes Lewis's account.
