“[T]he inquiries post-FTX” have been largely deflected due to legal concerns. I’m not going to second-guess the presumed advice of the relevant lawyers here, but that’s hardly the same as there having been a public and independent investigation that reveals the potential concerns to have been unfounded. Given the absence of any real information (other than knowing that someone senior heard that SBF was under criminal investigation, shared that report, and got muted responses), the range of plausible narratives in my view ranges from no errors to ordinary errors of judgment to severe errors of judgment (which would provide significant reason to believe that the relevant actors’ judgment is “untrustworthy” in the sense of not being reliable) to willful blindness.
