Recusing themselves from FTX decision-making is significantly weaker than being on leave of absence. The latter implies that they are still part of decision-making for non-FTX related issues which I assume exist. (And technically recusing from decision-making also doesn’t mean recusing from discussion, so they could have still been involved in discussions regarding FTX, though I’d assume that they also recused themselves from that). I think it’s a significant difference.
