I agree that if I, personally, had steered SBF into crypto, and uncharacteristically failed to add on a lot of “hey but please don’t scam people, only do this if you find a kind of crypto you can feel good about” I might consider myself more at fault.
Given how big of a role EA apparently had in the origin of Alameda (Singh says in the Sequoia puff piece that it wouldn’t have started without EA), there very likely are many members of the community who offered more encouragement and/or didn’t give as many warnings as they should have.
I don’t know what point that fault transcends the individual and attributes to the community, but at the very least, adding up other individuals’ culpabilities in steering SBF to crypto without appropriate caution would seem to put a lot of the blame you say you personally avoid on EA as a whole.
