Not just publications, either. FTX was the major funder for tons of COVID research (including the very influential "TOGETHER trial")[0] -- [0] https://www.themainewire.com/2022/11/bankrupt-ftx-gave-18-2m...

Like data from the Nazis inhumane experiments being used to find treatments for hypothermia, the ends do not justify the means.

So I shouldn't have mentioned it because it's a meme, and SBF should be in the clear now because he donated a few dollars of stolen funds, mostly from individuals who got sucked into it, to medical research. Solid.

There's honestly such a clear bias in how they're handling this whole thing. I see the tides turning slowly though. I just don't understand why they're handling this with kid gloves when you see other people absolutely torn apart for much less.

The question isn't "do publications receive donations" it's "does that change their coverage" and given that Vox quite happily completely monstered him immediately, I think we can feel pretty good about the trade off.
