Netflix FTX trailer was ‘enough to upset me’ in first 30 seconds: former FTX COO
Summary
Former FTX COO Constance Wang said she stopped watching Netflix’s trailer for The Altruists because its portrayals of former executives, including Caroline Ellison and Sam Bankman-Fried, felt inaccurate. The eight-episode drama about FTX’s collapse is scheduled to premiere globally on Nov. 19, 2026. Wang founded Pacifica, a Solana-based perpetual futures trading platform, in 2025 and says it is entirely bootstrapped; she plans to add AI tools. The piece also recounts FTX’s collapse, the $8.9 billion customer-fund shortfall, and the convictions and sentences of Bankman-Fried and Ellison.
