I had no inkling the problems with FTX, but I had was somewhat surprised to see the crypto influence on the EA movement. Even absent fraud crypto currency businesses seemed to be financially risky, and also posing a PR-problem.
At least on Twitter I felt that EA followers gave quite a lot of attention to SBF in particular. It certainly was positive PR for him and his companies, but I think an obvious risk for the movement.

For me it’s not black and white. The (expected) amount of good from the money has to be considered in consideration to the (expected) bad PR.
And I don’t feel the EA movement was advertising for FTX so turning this against EA would be in bad faith.
