Do you mean to say both FTX and effective altruism are Ponzi schemes? Obviously SBF and FTX turned out to be a huge fraud, but while EA benefited from the fraud mostly unknowingly (although there are open questions as to whether they should have been more skeptical of SBF) I don’t think it’s fair to say that it is fraudulent itself (at least as far as we currently know). EA is big and while you may disagree with their cause prioritiazation, it is clear real work is being done in the movement.

Have you heard about Wytham Abbey?

The rationalization they used to justify this is probably the same pattern they use for everything.

Why should I believe them?

Facts are more reliable than words.
