EA Institutions' Response to the FTX Collapse - Footnote 24

Verdictpartial80%
1 check · 4/3/2026

The claim that MacAskill acknowledged the need for self-examination and for EA to make clear it does not see itself as above common-sense ethical norms is not directly supported by the source. The source only mentions MacAskill's expression of "utter rage" and acknowledgement that he had not heeded concerns that his own moral ideas could be misused. The claim that MacAskill declined to be interviewed by the New Statesman is accurate, but the reason given in the source is 'work commitments', not necessarily because of SBF's conviction. The claim that MacAskill had offered no further detailed public account of the events as of November 2023 is not directly supported by the source. The source only mentions that he hasn’t commented on Bankman-Fried publicly since June.
