https://archive.ph/Pqr04 https://archive.ph/Pqr04 > “I had a friend who said, ‘You don’t want to be seen with (Sam Bankman-Fried's parents),’” said Larry Kramer, a former dean of the law school and a close friend of the Bankman-Fried family. “I don’t see how this doesn’t bankrupt them.” Bankman-Fried's parents were both Stanford Law professors. http://archive.today/FDEIc http://archive.today/FDEIc > A spokeswoman for Mr. Bankman and Ms. Fried wouldn’t comment on whether they are giving their son legal advice. Their friends, some of them legal scholars themselves, have said Mr. Bankman-Fried’s frequent media appearances are a mistake that could put him deeper in legal jeopardy. > “They want him to protect himself, and he won’t,” said Larry Kramer, a former dean at Stanford Law and longtime family friend. “They’ve decided, ‘We’re not going to fight with our son.’ ... > Friends and colleagues said Mr. Bankman, who is also a clinical psychologist by training, abhors conflict. When discussions at the Bankman-Frieds’ Sunday dinner parties turned contentious, Mr. Bankman on occasion would step out of the room, friends said. > “Joe likes people and wants people to be comfortable,” Mr. Kramer said.

Ah yes, because ignoring bad people and stupid problems always results in a good outcome!

  Come on. At dinner parties. You don't have to make every minute of your life a crusade. On sundays! I don't GAF about the rest of the story here but using this as a character failure demonstration is inane.

Such conflicts often develop during "dinner parties" because those are the only time the family gets together for such a thing to even be possible. Walking away in such a scenario is a sort of dereliction of duty as a parent, not that I can speak to how SBF's home life relates here. Given SBF's alleged egregious white-collar criminal behavior it wouldn't surprise me one iota if his parents failed to fight the necessary battles to produce a responsible adult in him.
