Someone raised the point that if EAs try to offset the harm SBF caused, this creates a moral hazard of the form “people may be more willing to cause harm in the name of EA in the future, expecting other EAs to offset that harm”.
I think that’s a stronger objection to “offset all of SBF’s harms” (which I don’t endorse anyway) than to “collectively give back the amount EA received”, but maybe it will shift my view once I’ve chewed on it a bit more. At a glance, I don’t think I’d expect this concern to be a dominant factor?
