"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.

10.10.2026Pickleball facility franchisor The Picklr has filed for bankruptcy in order to pursue renegotiated lease agreements. The Picklr Indoor pickleball facility franchisor The Picklr filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy late Friday night. An investor group led by The Picklr investor and franchisee Tom Neale has committed $4.8M in financing and would sponsor The Picklr’s reorganization. The Picklr was founded in 2021 and began franchising locations two years later. The company’s footprint has scaled quickly in the years since, now boasting more than 70 domestic locations as well as facilities in Australia, Canada and Japan. However, Jorge Barragan, The Picklr’s founder and CEO, explained to Sports Business Journal that his company had agreed to be a guarantor for facility lease payments for some early franchisees. Barragan said that around 40 locations have such an agreement in place, and that those deals have become an untenable financial burden for the parent company. The Picklr hopes to use the bankruptcy process to renegotiate lease agreements. “We signed, unfortunately, too many corporate guarantees that landed on the holding company. And that’s on us. I own it,” Barragan said.

After sparking disappointment from fans in the UK, we compared both versions of McDonald's snack wraps in the US and UK. The Snack Wrap has officially landed overseas. McDonald's brought the fan-favorite item back to UK menus on October 6, marking its first appearance there since it was discontinued in 2016. Much like in the US, British fans spent years calling for its return — and McDonald's finally answered. However, shortly after the launch, The Sun reported that a few British McDonald's customers were disappointed by the "downgraded" menu item, lamenting the removal of cheese from the wraps and calling it "a bit plain" on social media. We decided to put each version to the test. Our London-based reporter, Roya Shahidi, thought the UK's version of the Snack Wrap, while light and crispy, was disappointing overall and needed cheese. On the other hand, our US-based reporter Erin McDowell was impressed by the flavorful sauces and crispy chicken tenders included in each of her wraps. Here's how McDonald's Snack Wraps in the US and the UK compare in terms of taste and value.
