“That only shocks you if you don’t know Sam,” Lewis told 60 Minutes. “Sam’s thinking, ‘We could play Donald Trump not to run for president. Like, how much would it take?” Thereafter, Lewis stated that the number that Bankman-Fried eventually arrived at was $5 billion. However, Lewis states that they don’t know where the figure came from. 

“The question Sam had was not just, ‘Is $5 billion enough to make Trump not run?’ but ‘Was it legal?'” Lewis added. Ultimately, the conversions were still taking place when the company was collapsing. Subsequently, Lewis said the money wasn’t paid due to the company’s eventual bankruptcy.
