It makes the article so much more interesting in my view.&lt;p&gt;On the one hand, you’ve got this ethics discussion, which in context happened previously, about the ethics of running an immoral business to do good things. Then an ethical discussion about how that answer was BS and all that really matters is perception, and how perception doesn’t mirror reality.&lt;p&gt;And here I’m trying to reflect on these topics. How do I feel about these things, how would I answer?&lt;p&gt;Then the next part begins soon after with “messy accounting.”&lt;p&gt;I view it the way I’d view Michelangelo’s David if it were displayed at a local county fair.</text><parent_chain><item><author>ZephyrBlu</author><text>Author: &amp;quot;so the ethics stuff - mostly a front?&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;SBF: &amp;quot;yeah&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Absolutely gobsmacked.&lt;p&gt;I saw these screenshots on Twitter and I thought they were fake until I read the article.
