"The Altruists," a series about the rise and fall of crypto exchange FTX, will debut on Netflix. Former FTX staffers are calling Netflix's new show about the company's collapse more fiction than fact. Constance Wang, the former chief operating officer of FTX and co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, said watching the trailer for "The Altruists" made her "physically throw up. "Premiering on November 19, "The Altruists" is an eight-episode series dramatizing the rise and fall of the cryptocurrency exchange under former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. Bankman-Fried is now serving a 25-year prison sentence for fraud after siphoning away billions from FTX customers. Caroline Ellison, who previously led FTX's affiliated crypto trading firm, Alameda Research, pleaded guilty to fraud and conspiracy and also served time in prison for her role in the scheme. The show is called "The Altruists" because the pair initially said they were members of the effective altruism movement, which advocates earning as much money as possible to help improve the world. "I was COO from before FTX even had a name, it was my baby, and I was the last one out of the Bahamas after Sam got extradited.

The author used to work seven days a week. Now, she has more free time. Eight years ago, I worked a visual merchandising job with a 6-2 schedule. I also lived in Vancouver, one of the most expensive cities in North America. With mostly free afternoons and a love of writing, I started looking into freelancing to boost my income. It was just a fun side hustle at first. The gigs weren't too time-consuming, and I took a little break after moving to the UK for love in 2019. But after getting settled and finding a new full-time merchandising job, I decided to give it another go. The pandemic gave me a lot of time to work on new projects and build my portfolio, as I was furloughed from my full-time job during the thick of lockdown between 2020 and 2021. Then restrictions started to lift, but my workload kept growing. I went back to my full-time job, which had a more conventional 8-5 schedule. By then, I had regular freelance clients, so I'd use evenings and weekends to work on projects until working six or seven days a week became normal for me. I eventually switched to a part-time role in 2022 to give myself more time for freelancing, but the long workweek stuck.

Ryan Lowe. Ryan Lowe worked two jobs and lives with his parents so he can retire early. This as-told-to essay is based on conversations with Ryan Lowe, a 27-year-old living in Massachusetts who shared documentation of his savings with Business Insider. His words have been lightly edited for length and clarity. I want to retire early. So I tried working two jobs — an office finance job during the day and as a product sorter in a grocery store at night. I also live with my parents and drive a 20-year-old Toyota Camry. I'm 27. I don't drink, I don't smoke, and I don't go out to parties. My parents buy the groceries. A lot of people would look at my lifestyle and say that I'm a bum, and they're not wrong. Over the years, though, I've saved up nearly $300,000. I get paid between $1,100 and $1,200 every week from both gigs, and I usually put $1,000 of that paycheck into the S&P 500. It's a very safe long-term investment. If that were to crash, then we'd have bigger issues than my retirement fund. I'm hoping to retire in my 40s and spend time traveling. When I'm not traveling, I want to have a chill, quiet lifestyle — just like I do now.
