The FTX Future Fund Team Has Resigned

Abstract

The FTX Future Fund team resigned from their positions after learning of the recent events at FTX. The team expressed deep concern regarding the legitimacy and integrity of FTX’s business operations and condemned any potential deception or dishonesty by the company’s leadership. They noted the likely inability to fulfill grant commitments due to the situation and expressed their sorrow for the impact on grantees. The team stated they are exploring ways to assist grantees in their personal capacities. Discussion in the comments section focused on questions regarding the extent to which FTX leadership engaged in unethical behavior, whether this was known prior to the recent events, and whether EA leaders knew or should have known about the situation. The team’s resignation triggered concerns over potential clawbacks, the future of the FTX Future Fund, and the need for greater transparency in EA regarding potential conflicts of interest. – AI-generated abstract.
