Former FTX CEO Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried talks about Michael Lewis' book "Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon," which revealed that Donald Trump considered paying him not to run for president.

- Lewis stated that the SBF sees Trump as a potential threat to American democracy and considers him an "existential risk" to the nation.

- SBF suggested $5 billion for Trump not to pursue his presidential campaign, although it was unclear whether that figure came directly from Trump.

- However, this plan did not come true due to the fact that Bankman-Fried no longer had the necessary $ 5 billion.

- Sam Bankman-Fried's high-profile trial will begin with jury selection on October 3, with trial proceedings set to begin on October 4.
