She is a journalist whose previous interaction with SBF had been a published interview. He clearly approached the conversation too casually, but, I mean, he’s also still tweeting. His own reaction was much more “welp, gives you some color” than actually furious about it.
You also have to consider the implications of holding onto the information rather than publishing it. I think it would be far worse for Future Perfect, who SBF gave money to, to be seen as trying to hide information about his internal mindset.
Maybe you might argue she shouldn’t have reached out in the first place, but I think it’s pretty clearly newsworthy stuff!

I don’t think this consideration should have influenced Kelsey’s decision to publish the conversation. Indeed, if it was improper for her to release the exchange with SBF, it is even worse if she did so out of a concern that this would improve her reputation or Vox’s. (I doubt this influenced her decision, though.)
Mmh, I’m not sure that’s the correct interpretation of Dylan’s tweet. I read him as saying that Vox is not less likely to publish stuff that reflects poorly on you if you are a sponsor, not that being a sponsor makes it more likely that they’ll publish that stuff.

It clearly influenced her editor.

That’s how I read him too. They want to show that they wouldn’t bury the piece because of his sponsorship.
