The new eight-part series will be out later this year
Belfast actor Anthony Boyle is set to star in a new Netflix show inspired by one of the biggest scandals in cryptocurrency.
He will appear alongside Julia Garner as Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison in eight-episode limited series The Altruists, which chronicles the meteoric rise and disastrous fall of global cryptocurrency exchange, FTX.
The series, created by Graham Moore and co-showrun by Jacqueline Hoyt, will unpack how two hyper-smart, ambitious young idealists tried to remake the global financial system before they were accused of stealing $8 billion.
In 2024, US District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan declared that Caroline Ellison and Sam Bankman-Fried might have committed the “greatest financial fraud ever perpetrated in this country.”
Their wild story will be chronicled in The Altruists, which follows the rise and fall of FTX, a global cryptocurrency exchange, and the two star-crossed lovers who ended the empire.
Boyle and Garner are joined by a cast that includes Alex Lawther, Karan Soni, Naomi Okada, Madison Hu, Matt Rife and Eugene Young.
The Altruists will premiere on Netflix on November 19.
