It seems that way, which is baffling to me, as this seems a particularly easy problem to solve. No need to wait for an independent investigator to give a report in 30 days (by which time OpenAI might be toast). Just have individual discussions with each board member and ask them why they voted to fire Sam, and what evidence there was. Then, take appropriate action.
If I had to guess, there will be one person who pushed for Sam's firing with vague reasons, and the others went along with it for their own vague reasons. In which case, the solution would be to fire those members (including Ilya) from the board, but let Ilya continue as chief scientist.

Unlike for-profit corporations, there are no shareholders behind them. Ultimately, any and all action is taken by the board. They're not accountable to anyone else. They don't have to discuss anything with anybody, and there's no action anyone else can take. Unless you're suing the board and get the government to step in, but it's not clear there's any grounds for that.

It is then up to the board to follow those recommendations, present their own alternative, or let the company implode when all their employees quit. >The board is at the top That doesn't always guarantee power.
