Yes, he admitted multiple times that it was all just an act for public perception. Can't get much more clear than this:

  KP: you were really good at talking about ethics, for someone who kind of saw it all as a game with winners and losers
  SBF: ya
  SBF: hehe
  SBF: I had to be
  SBF: it's what reputations are made of, to some extent
  SBF: I feel bad for those who get f***** by it
  SBF: by this dumb game we woke westerners play where we say all the right shiboleths [sic] and so everyone likes us

That’s what happens if one tries and mispronounces “shibboleth”.

Fraud was certainly a feature of the industry as a whole, e.g. https://web3isgoinggreat.com/

I think this attitude goes way beyond just crypto/web3. It seems like corporate greed and environmental destruction is a-ok as long as the company tweets in support of woke stuff.

Corporate greed is the goal. The means vary; whatever works.
