See here for context.
In 2021, I asked about SBF among some "senior EA people". I had heard that Alameda had had a hard breakup, and I didn't know whether SBF cheated his partners or whether he was merely a merciless or ruthless negotiator who nonetheless keeps his word. The former would have been a warning sign, the later is arguably very positive for someone aiming to become a billionaire to improve the world[1]. Based on what I heard, I classified SBF more as a ruthless negotiator than as a cheater, and I definitely didn't hear about them having poor capital controls at the beginning.
