I have no connection to CEA or SBF, I'm just someone who's desperate to recover moral philosophy from financialization by wannabe tech bros.

Edit for reply:

> around October/November 2022

i.e. after the run and it's clear he's going to be arrested... Usual EA bullshit.

Okay, then you probably don't really know what EA's stance generally was. You can look at EA Forum's posts around October/November 2022 to see what the overwhelming opinion was, and shortly after you can see Will coming out saying he shouldn't be seen as the face of EA, etc... At the absolute most, the supporting stance could be seen as silence while they tried to work out what was happening with funding at the Future Fund etc, but only if the "Institutional Opinion" is simply that of MacAskill. The overwhelming opinion was that what SBF did was awful, and questions about if it'd be possible to return funds were the primary discussion.

Really?

> Institutionally, EA was defending SBF up until he was arrested,

Nope, here's why & evidence
