the fundamental problem is that bluesky keeps assuming that it is possible to have a single set of rules that governs both users and governments, while at the same time they also keep demonstrating why this is in fact impossible to do

tfw the altruism is very effective
![In September 2022, after about five months of work, Bankman-Fried told Rheingans-Yoo that, “as his bonus for the first half of 2022,” he would get $650,000, plus “another $650k of directed grants to any [Effective-Altruist]-driven cause if you want.” Two months later, FTX went bankrupt. At the time of the bankruptcy, Rheingans-Yoo had apparently not told FTX where to send the $650,000.
So he filed a claim in bankruptcy, asking FTX’s bankruptcy estate to send the $650,000 to the charity of his choice. FTX’s bankruptcy estate fought the claim, arguing that it had no obligation to pay him, but the bankruptcy judge disagreed and awarded him the money. (The $650,000 was an unsecured claim, but FTX ended up recovering more than 100 cents on the dollar for unsecured creditors,3 so he got the full amount.)
He asked FTX to send the money to Manifold for Charity, the charitable arm of prediction market Manifold Markets, because of course he did. FTX’s estate objected to this too, arguing that, because FTX was in litigation against Manifold, because Rheingans-Yoo was on Manifold for Charity’s board, and because he would control the disbursement of the money from Manifold, this donation was conflicted: “Rather than seeking to do good, Rheingans-Yoo instead is perpetuating a key component of the FTX fraud in which FTX insiders siphoned money from creditors to donate to ‘charities’ in order to enhance their own personal reputations and line the pockets of their Effective Altruist acquaintances.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jso7eonpai3or3by5fx4pffi/bafkreif3l3sut4vfqryl5dwnfylz6af4enncnstysl3oizy3yr5m5nmeqe@jpeg)
