- FTX cofounder Sam Bankman-Fried did not know how to instruct his guard dog to kill on command, according to Michael Lewis' new book.

FTX cofounder Sam Bankman-Fried did not know how to instruct his guard dog to kill on command, according to Michael Lewis' biography on the fallen crypto titan.
The dog — a German shepherd named Sandor — was purchased by Bankman-Fried's parents for security reasons, Lewis wrote in the book. It had been trained to attack on command — in German.
Bankman-Fried's parents learned the attack commands, but not the former CEO of FTX.
