ProPublica plans to return the $1.6M the outlet received from SBF's family foundation, setting aside the money until authorities decide where it should be sent
“Semafor said it intends to let the various government agencies that are still in the early stages of investigating Bankman-Fried and the FTX saga decide ‘how best to handle his interest in Semafor.’” Weak sauce, @semafor. You should return the money now. https://twitter.com/...
The scramble to offload @SBF_FTX's tainted money reaches the media world. @ProPublica will set aside $1.6M it received from his family foundation in preparation for possible transfer to a restitution fund, per staff memo obtained by @sarafischer at @Axios https://www.axios.com/..…
“Several news outlets, including Semafor, Vox Media and The Intercept, have all taken money from Bankman-Fried, and they now need to decide what to do with the cash.” 😂😂😂https:// www.axios.com/...
Reminder that ProPublica was initially bankrolled by one of the worst subprime predators, World Savings Bank: “ProPublica, the nonprofit investigative news outlet, will return the $1.6 million in funds it received from Sam Bankman-Fried” https://www.axios.com/...
NPR has confirmed @sarafischer's reporting for @axios, that ProPublica plans to return a $1.6 million donation from Sam Bankman-Fried's family foundation. Here is the memo ProPublica's Robin Sparkman and Stephen Engelberg sent to the organization's staff: https://twitter.com/...
Nonprofit news entities are just as susceptible to conflicts of interest — potentially even more so. Speaking as someone with huge respect for @propublica. A disclosure requirement to list all funders, investors and owners of news entities would increase trust. https://twitter.co…
