The series is produced by Joe and Anthony Russo’s company, ABGO, and is executive produced and piloted by Invasion writer David Weil. Sources say the Russoes are also in direct talks.

Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios, said: “We can’t think of a better partner to bring this multifaceted story to Prime Video viewers around the world.”

FTX has been the subject of many scandals in recent weeks. Founded in 2019, he quickly became one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world.

However, things recently started to implode when more than $2 billion in customer funds were reported lost and an investigation by a US federal agency was already underway.

Notably, much of the scandal centered around 30-year-old FTX co-founder and CEO Bankman-Fried.

In a statement, the Russo Brothers said, “This is one of the most impudent scams we have ever committed.” At the center of it sits a very mysterious figure with complex and potentially dangerous motives, and we want to understand why.”

There are reportedly ongoing discussions for multiple Marvel actors to play roles in the series, which is also said to be based on “insider reports” about FTX.
