  on: Ma­hen­dra Prasad’s Shortform

  Question:
  Is blaming EA for FTX like blaming Elie Wiesel for Bernie Madoff?
  Background:
  Elie Wiesel was a Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor who trusted his personal finances and his foundation’s endowment to Bernie Madoff. Wiesel’s foundation and personal finances were decimated when Madoff’s Ponzi scheme fell apart. Madoff is famous for a Ponzi scheme that destroyed the finances of thousands of investors of tens of billions of dollars.
  Question:
  Is the analogy apt?

  Thanks Gordon for this helpful criticism. I will try to include such links on future posts. (Please don’t hesitate to call me out if I fail to do so.) Here is a link about Open Philanthropy’s support of approval voting, and a talk on approval voting at EA Global London. Thanks again.
