> The reason he's keeping FTX open is to earn more money to give away to environmental, socioeconomic, and health organizations and research.

If telling people you were going to do something was actually doing it, we wouldn't need contracts

The information you're looking for is accessible. I don't argue with people who say Bill Gates doesn't donate much money, either.

I haven't seen Bill's bank statements, but I believe he does donate for the same reasons I believe Sam does.

Sam's primary motivation to generate money is to fund Effective Altruism.
