Author Michael Lewis has been following former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried around for the past six months and will write a book about the crypto maven known as "SBF," a new report says.

News that the author who wrote "The Big Short" and "Moneyball" was writing about FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried was first reported by The Ankler, after the newsletter published a copy of an email reportedly from CAA that was sent to potential buyers for TV rights to the book.

Lewis's book will highlight the rivalry between Bankman-Fried and Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, the email says, and compare the strife between the two to Star Wars characters Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.

The email also states that Lewis has not yet written the book, but "the story has become too big for us to wait."
