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.

- floodyberry- 5y agoHow do you know? Has he shown you his bank statements?
- SparkyMcUnicorn 5y agoThe 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.
- floodyberry- 5y agoBecause the Gates Foundation publishes its returns? https://www.gatesfoundation.org/about/financials https://www.gatesfoundation.org/about/financials
