All this conversation about Leverage and Kerry’s motives and character misses the point that he’s talking about events that have little to nothing to do with him. He’s saying that there was a blowup at Alameda early on reflecting badly on SBF that lots of EA leaders knew about and turned a blind eye to. This can be investigated and confirmed or denied without delving into conversations about Leverage or Kerry that are besides the point at hand.
To the extent that Kerry’s allegation involves his own judgment of Sam’s actions as bad or shady, I think it matters that there’s reason not to trust Kerry’s judgment or possibly motives in sharing the information. However we should definitely try to find out what actually happened and determine whether it was truly predictive of worse behavior down the line.
Agreed! IMO it’s good for people to be aware that Kerry has an axe to grind; but the thing to do with that information is to look into the matter further.
