The son of two Stanford law professors, who studied physics at MIT, Sam Bankman-Fried was drawn to "effective altruism," the idea of utilitarianism and doing as much as possible. At the end of 2017, he started trading cryptocurrencies when he saw a lucrative arbitrage opportunity. Freed believes in the magical philosophy of "effective altruism": "earn a lot and give a lot". He made $9 million from cryptocurrency trading in three and a half years. He is a self-made man who has walked his way to this height. The main assets are in the form of stocks and FTX tokens. He was a major donor to the proBiden Super PAC, which donated $5 million.
