Like a lot of other organizations and leaders, EA has egg on its face from SBF/FTX, no doubt. You can see it roiling the community. But while I'm in no way an expert on their funding, I think it's an open question whether SBF funding is part of a pattern of "filthy lucre" as you put it, or one--or maybe one of a few--instance of an unknown criminal funding source doing some reputation washing. My sense is it's the latter.
I'd also go further to say that it's pretty hard to track down the sources of all your funding. Even government organizations (the FEC, the IRS, the FBI) have a super hard time doing this. Nonprofits generally just go by reputation, as they have essentially zero investigative power.
