I agree this piece was embarrassingly lazy. But what were the conflicts of interest? Just a quick check and I can't exactly find him having ties to any crypto company.
- woodruffw 5y agoFrom one of the footnotes: it sounds like Roose used his position at the NYT to boost an otherwise obscure NFT. He's also publicly advocated[1] for a loosening of the rules that newspapers have typically imposed for financial reporting (no ownership in/positions against the companies/assets being reported on.) Re-reading my original comment, I think I was too forward in asserting that there's a conflict of interest. But I find his public positions around becoming an interested party concerning and a potential risk to his objectivity.
