The fact that some of the FTXFF funding went via weird orgs such as North Dimension reflects badly on someone at FTXFF, I think. I think on priors we’d expect something like this in relation to an $8bn fraud to lead to the removal of someone from a random board. So personally until I hear reasons for Beckstead to stay, I’ll think he should go. I imagine that someone can make those arguments, but I’d like to actually hear them (Should I update before hearing them on expectation of hearing them, probably, but the fact it’s been months and I haven’t does feel bad to me)

In general, I think the traditional approach of sacking people when something they’re associated with explodes is very harmful, and I’m glad that most places I’ve worked at explicitly don’t do this.
