My current understanding is that Ben Delo was convicted over failure to implement a particular regulation that strikes me as not particularly tied to the goodness of humanity; I know very little about him one way or the other but do not currently have in my “poor moral standing” column on the basis of what I’ve heard.
Obvious potential conflicts of interest are obvious: MIRI received OP funding at one point that was passed through by way of Ben Delo. I don’t recall meeting or speaking with Ben Delo at any length and don’t make positive endorsement of him.
