According to Variety, Amazon Studios has commissioned an eight-episode limited series about bankrupt crypto exchange FTX.

Variety’s report says that “David Weil is set to write the pilot and executive produce, while an individual with knowledge of the project says that the Russos are in talks to direct in addition to executive producing.” Apparently, other executive producers include “Mike Larocca, Angela Russo-Otstot, and Scott Nemes for AGBO as well as Natalie Laine Williams.”
