I already found it odd to publish before the trial, the trial wpupd have been the perfect final chapter.
- InitialLastName 3y agoI suspect that to his (and his publishers' minds) the collapse itself is the finale, and the trial is a marketing campaign. The more press the trial gets, the more people are going to get curious to learn about the background and judge for themselves, and just in time a book about the company/SBF by an author who is notable for his ability to explain and humanize complicated business concepts to a general audience is right there on the front shelf at Barnes and Noble. If anything, when the trial is over they re-release with an epilogue evaluating the trial.
- rand846633 3y agoThere were at least 2 other books in the making, all by authors interested in SBF. There was no time to wait if one wanted to be first to market.
- Doctor_Fegg 3y agoThere'll be a revised edition. I suspect Lewis was in court partly to gather first-hand impressions for the new chapters on the trial.
- chubot 3y agoYes exactly! If he's going to pure entertainment value ... I mean this article itself is case in point. It would probably be more than a chapter of material too.
