Michael Stevenson Lampoons Disgraced Crypto CEO’s Effective Altruism With Fraud-y Beanbag Chairs

“Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop,” a send-up of disgraced crypto CEO Sam Bankman-Fried’s (SBF) Future Fund by Michael Stevenson, opens at Michael Lett in Auckland (NZ). The show takes aim at SBF’s defunct effective altruism charity by reproducing the text from the fund’s website on beanbag chairs—just like those beloved by the former billionaire. The New Zealand artist describes each chair (filled with shredded paper) as “a placeholder” for “good intentions and a compromised crypto ecosystem.”
