Hi Jack — reasonable question! When I wrote this post I just didn’t see what the legal problems might be for FLI. With FTX, there are a ton of complications, most notably with regards to bankruptcy/clawbacks, and the fact that actual crimes were (seemingly) committed. This FLI situation, on face value, didn’t seem to have any similar complications — it seemed that something deeply immoral was done, but nothing more than that. Jason’s comment has made me realise there might be something else going on here, though; if that is the case then that would make the silence make more sense. I do still think it’s very weird that FLI hasn’t condemned Nya Dagbladet though — CEA did, after all, make it very clear very quickly what our stance on SBF was.

Please don’t do this.
I think it’s very unfair to act like there are clear standards in a gray area where those standards are just enough to cover your own ass.
The example I often think of is an adult brother and sister keeping in touch with their parents, where the brother decides the standard is to call them daily and does so, the sister decides the standard is to call them weekly and does so, and then the brother chastises the sister for not doing enough. (And perhaps it’s easier for the brother to call daily, and perhaps the sister knows their parents find it annoying how often the brother calls, and perhaps the sister is doing other nice things for their parents etc.)
I feel a bit bad about singling you out because I think other orgs do this too (CE being a recent example), but I guess I’d come to expect more from CEA as I generally consider them to be one of the more professional EA orgs.
I’m thankful that I haven’t seen any more comments from you like this one or the one above in recent months, but I thought someone should say something about this comment too.

Thanks for responding Shakeel.
