On September 26th, a documentary titled "BBC Panorama 2023: Downfall of the Crypto King SBF & FTX" produced by BBC was officially released. In the nearly 90-minute film, BBC almost fully showcased the rise and fall of SBF and his crypto empire FTX. The film includes early views and conversations of SBF, as well as interviews with SBF's colleagues and FTX users.

BBC's introduction to this film is "SBF is a messy-haired, bookish math genius who was originally intended to change the world of encryption, but ultimately became the biggest loser and may face long-term imprisonment. On the eve of his trial for fraud and money laundering in New York, this program reveals the astonishing rise and fall of his $40 billion company FTX, which he once boasted could bring encryption into the mainstream, but ultimately went bankrupt, leaving no assets for over one million customers. Through detailed research and interviews with his former colleagues, employees, and insiders, this film explores many overlooked warning signs, including his messy appearance, celebrity hype, and promises to donate billions to charity, which have made the world turn a blind eye to his alleged crimes and brought the encryption industry into crisis."

截止9月28日，SBF的案件仍在进一步审理中。美司法部反对暂时释放SBF的最新动议。
