The “circling vultures” metaphor is generally used to mean “X is in danger”. The idea is that vultures can tell X is at an elevated risk of death and are preparing to swoop down once that happens.
Here my interpretation is that the vultures represent grifters, and X is something like “EA money, protected by diligence and community trust”. When the protection falls the grifters swoop in on the money.
Vultures ≈ Death, typically
EA = Not dead, quite the opposite in fact
