I liked The Big Short, movie and the book, as a story and also because the author claims that it's based on true events. Now after seeing Michael Lewis fumble all over the place about SBF I'm not sure about the latter anymore.
Maybe Michael Lewis got too attached to his subjects and was hoodwinked or maybe he knew it was not all true and went along with them because they made for a good story.
All in all he lost his credibility big time, at least among lay (i.e., outsiders of Wall Street) readers. Later I read somewhere on Twitter that apparently WS folks knew his book to be a BS anyway.
