'From the very beginning, I was so fascinated by both Sam's and Caroline's real stories. Those are both characters who I could not have possibly made up had I tried — I'm not nearly a good enough writer to create characters as fascinating as either Sam Bankman-Fried or Caroline Ellison…This form [of storytelling] allowed us to tell not just a kind of headline version of the story, but to tell what we believed was the much more fascinating, intimate, personal, deeply heartbreaking story of these two people.' —Writer/Creator/Showrunner/EP GRAHAM MOORE
'I think viewers will find our deeply intimate story of these two individuals with morally conflicted motives fascinating, and will ultimately have a better understanding of why they did what they did.' —Writer/Showrunner/Executive Producer Jacqueline Hoyt
