Crypto Twitter Roasts Mark Wahlberg's Upcoming Documentary on Sam Bankman-Fried, Binance's CZ: 'Planet Of Bored Apes'

What Happened: According to The Hollywood Reporter, the production is a partnership between media outlet Fortune and Unrealistic Ideas, a non-scripted production company co-founded by actors Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson and Archie Gips.

Twitter On Roast Mode: The news of the documentary brought out the sarcastic best among many tweeters.

Should be a movie instead of a documentary.
It would be like The Wolf of Wallstreet but with League of Legends tournaments instead of sick parties.

Why It Matters: Zhao and Bankman-Fried have exchanged verbal blows in the past, in the run-up to FTX's spectacular collapse last year which was exacerbated after Binance dumped all its holdings of native FTX tokens (CRYPTO: FTT). 

Reports in November said that "Moneyball author Michael Lewis was following Bankman-Fried for the last six months and could have a book in the works.
