My question is why the NY times is still running a summit where SBF is currently still scheduled to speak.

Surely they’ll pull him. The NYT may act like its above the people, the politics, but even this would be an overreach. However, if SBF is committed to showing up, then it could be the paper’s moment to shine. However I don’t think the Times quite has the nation’s confidence that it once enjoyed ..long ago.

I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but personally, I am much more interested in what he has to say now than I was pre-collapse.

All he seems to be able to say is that yes, he did YOLO with customer funds, and he is really sorry and wishes he didn't do that.

The NYT having SBF speak at one of their conferences would be the paper's moment to shine?
