Not wishing ill for peopleâparticularly when harm (whether intentional or unintentional) occursâis a central component of being compassionate. It is necessary to consider both those who have caused harm and those who are harmed, hence the phrasing of my original comment.
I share your sentiment, but I do think the choice of who to center in those messages matters. To use a sort of absurd example, if QUALY the lightbulb was caught robbing a bank, it would come across as tone deaf to say âI would like to emphasize my wishes of wellness and care for QUALY, their bank robber crew, and the many others impacted by this.â
Thereâs a lot we donât know at this point. Was FTXâs downfall the result of unfortunate luck? poor judgement? bad practices? Especially without knowing more, Iâd be wary of messages that center care for Sam and the FTX team over care for the retail investors and customers who may end up facing the worst hardship as a result of these events.

I agree that who we center matters. Thanks for the feedback! It helped me to clarify the original message.
