It's hard to look at this founder and say he isn't extremely well intentioned.

For a very young guy in this scene you'd expect expensive watches and cars, but instead he drives a budget car, is giving away a great majority of his wealth, and seems to truly care.

The reason he's keeping FTX open is to earn more money to give away to environmental, socioeconomic, and health organizations and research. His track record speaks for itself.

There is no way you posted that with a straight face.

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

[SparkyMcUnicorn]

And he's actually doing it, so what's your point?

[floodyberry-]

How do you know? Has he shown you his bank statements?

[SparkyMcUnicorn]

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.
