I was surprised Andrew Ross-Sorkin let him speak for the dealbook interview today[1] (You can see a lot of the interview clips on yt now). He did ask some tough questions but SBF was allowed to say whatever he wanted in response and was given space to speak without pushback. Maybe Sorkin wasn't prepared for what SBF answered but then why have him on? I don't think the interview should have happened at all for that reason. I guess we shouldn't assume guilt but we should avoid allowing someone to run PR for themselves also. The audience even laughed along with Sorkin and in reply to some comments SBF made. It was strange given what happened and even Sorkin read out a letter of someone who lost a lot of money but they're joking.
This is Andrew Ross-Sorkin who is supposed to be a pretty respected journalist or at least I thought. This isn't a mistake, and I don't think they're stupid either. SBF seems to know how to appeal to journalists pretty well. What the motives of the journalists are is more complicated.

- anonymousiam 4y agoI was fully expecting SBF to be arrested if he showed up in-person to this event. I wonder why he is still a free man...
