Wall Street veteran turned crypto evangelist Anthony Scaramucci - aka “The Mooch” - runs us through his crypto origin story - his rise from blue collar Long Island to Wall Street and on to the White House.

The Mooch ascends to Donald Trump's White House where a stint with the Import-Export Bank of the US exposes him to the future: cryptocurrencies before he is called into the game as the new White House Communications Director. Eleven days later, he’s fired.

Bloodied but not defeated from his very public White House firing, Anthony Scaramucci dusts himself off and looks to bring his firm into what he sees as the future: cryptocurrency - it’s during this pivot that he’s introduced to wunderkind crypto founder Sam Bankman-Fried - aka “SBF”.

The Mooch and SBF meet in person for the first time. A fast friendship will eventually lead to a partnership. Scaramucci liked and admired the young visionary.

The Mooch explains what he saw in SBF - why he liked him and was excited to be in business with him. The halcyon days of the now infamous Crypto Bahamas conference - with guests like Bill Clinton and Katy Perry - give way to crypto’s bruising spring and summer with the fall of several high profile projects.

As crypto stumbles, SBF and his FTX step in as the savior of an industry. Amidst that glow, SBF and The Mooch partner with Sam Bankman-Fried purchasing a piece of Scaramucci’s firm. Now business partners, their first stop is the guided halls of the Middle East where The Mooch will help SBF raise more money for FTX.

The Mooch is in the front row as the legend of Sam Bankman-Fried comes crumbling down in a matter of days including spending the day in SBF’s Bahamas war room the day where FTX’s fate became clear.

Looking back on Sam Bankman-Fried’s rise and fall, Anthony Scaramucci walks us through what we can learn from his stumbles.

Anthony Scaramucci and Sam Bankman-Fried were the unlikeliest of business partners. “The Mooch” is a nearly sixty-year-old son of a Long Island crane operator who sprung from Harvard Law to fight his way up the ranks of traditional finance with an infamous eleven-day stint in the White House along the way. “SBF” is a newly-thirty-year-old son of two law professors raised on an elite campus who aimed to revolutionize all that people like the Mooch represented and he’d already become a multi-billionaire on the way. But partner they did – on a series of conferences and with SBF closing a deal that could have led to his owning the Mooch’s Skybridge Partners outright - but they became something more than that and before the story ends with SBF in handcuffs, their friendship would take them everywhere from the Bahamas to Riyadh – with  rumors of polycules, plentiful cups of noodles, and the Mooch toting a bag of suits he bought SBF out of instance that he could not meet the rules of Saudi Arabia in a worn out t-shirt and dirty white socks.
