It would be really great if EAs didn’t take out their dismay over SBF’s fraud on each other and didn’t try to tear down EA as an institution. I am wrecked over what happened with FTX, too, and of course it was major violation of community trust that we all have to process. But you’re not going to purify yourself by tearing down everyone else’s efforts or get out ahead of the next scandal by making other EA orgs sound shady. EA will survive this whether you calm down or not but there’s no reason to create strife and division over Sam et al.’s crimes when we could be coming together, healing, and growing stronger.
