Stealing The Future - David Morris

When does a philosophy become a conspiracy?

In 2024, Sam Bankman-Fried โ€” once hailed as the future of finance and one of the richest men in America โ€” was sentenced to 25 years in prison for stealing $11 billion and collapsing over a hundred companies. Stealing the Future is the inside story of that unraveling, told by a member of the CoinDesk team that first broke the case.

But this is more than a true crime story.

Itโ€™s a journey into the tangled web of tech-utopianism, libertarian idealism, and the seductive ideologies of Silicon Valley โ€” from Effective Altruism to transhumanism โ€” that helped cloak one of the biggest financial frauds of the 21st century.

As these philosophies increasingly fuel the global far right, Stealing the Future asks: what happens when abstract theories gain real power โ€” and whoโ€™s really paying the price?
