Episode 232 Promo - SBF's Ineffective Altruism (w/ Teddy Schleifer)

Why does he keep exposing himself via high profile interviews (and DM exchanges) that amount to free depositions for the SEC and DOJ -- both of whom are investigating him? Was his emphasis on "effective altruism" part of his effort to charm the media into seeing him as a good faith actor in an unregulated financial sector primed for fraud? Is it possible to be a "good billionaire?" This conversation took a philosophical turn. Come for a play by play of his NYT DealBook interview, stay for a materialist analysis of billionaire philanthropy. Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube to access our full video library.
