Welcome back to The Stratosphere. This afternoon, with an interview with Sam Bankman-Fried. Last night, over the course of 45 minutes—as Sam flipped back and forth between video games and our conversation—we discussed whether it was his “earn to give” motto that led him astray; whether he was, in effect, spending customer deposits on his political and philanthropic escapades; and whether he can repair his relationship with his mentor Will MacAskill and his brother Gabe.
