The issue with this take is “what happened with FTX?” is not a particularly difficult question!

Sam Bankman-Fried plans to speak at The New York Times' annual DealBook Summit on November 30; Andrew Ross Sorkin says “nothing is off limits”

I'd understand doing a interview and a written story, but letting SBF do a live (I assume video) appearance allows him to at least attempt to drive the narrative. Maybe someone can do a hard-hitting interview that makes SBF disconnect his Zoom, but ARS is unlikely to do that.
