Saying that the mess is good for him to write about now is completely different than insinuating he was promoting FTX this spring, especially while simultaneously taking the position that he exposed it (which is mostly hindsight).

He's always talked about criminal and unethical behavior in an understated and humorous way in his column, and as a private individual, should be exempt from the slimy methods of character assassination used on politicians.

I'm sure I could have said it better. I listened to the Bankman-Fried episode of Oddlots when it aired not because I had any idea who Bankman-Fried was, but because it was an episode with Levine on it. I think he's the best financial writer working today bar none. So I'm not trying to cast aspersions on Levine.
