The irony is how easily influenced you were by the article's viewpoint.

Does it not make sense that someone whose family is going through something like this would have a lot to deal with? Emeritus faculty are "retired" and electively teach classes for pay. They can't "quit" because they're not on contract and because they can't stop being emeritus.

You were pulled in my the intrigue of the author's spin on the topic, as intended, but the reality is much more boring.

The article’s “viewpoint” is backed up by facts.

> Bankman-Fried’s parents became involved in the scandal when Reuters broke that the professors had been named owners of a $16.4 million vacation home purchased by FTX. His parents told Reuters that they are seeking to return the deed to FTX

Very boring indeed /s
