ProPublica received money from SBF as grant.
SBF invested in Semafor.
then you got NYT event with SBF as speaker https://twitter.com/TrungTPhan/status/1595587141694021633?s=20&t=kas38SbQ6ome6s1bwewDQQ https://twitter.com/TrungTPhan/status/1595587141694021633?s=...
the picture is meme but its real. SBF is a featured speaker before the FTX collapsed.
then you got Ben Smith from Semafor going back and forward with Elon about who got money from SBF.

you also got this article from Forbes about SBF using none profit to hide behind.

the rabbit hole is just too deep for me. i just check Twitter blue checkers for FTX. a lot of them break the news first.
my conclusion is SBF put up a good front as a do gooder.
i feel bad for some real do gooders who received money from SBF. for example,
"Nathan Young, a researcher who was given $182,000 in June to create “a website for collaboratively creating public forecasting questions for a range of prediction aggregators and markets,” said on Twitter he feels guilty about receiving money from FTX. “Likely the fraud was already happening when the money was donated. That weighs on me,” Young wrote."
here is his tweet: https://twitter.com/NathanpmYoung/status/1590914873520967680?s=20&t=t29WOfbzH-wJW1CaUHidqA https://twitter.com/NathanpmYoung/status/1590914873520967680...
