A not-so-long-ago article on SBF by Sequoia: web.archive.org/web/20221...
> "After my interview with SBF, I was convinced: I was talking to a future trillionaire. Whatever mojo he worked on the partners at Sequoia—who fell for him after one Zoom—had worked on me, too.... I don’t know how I know, I just do. SBF is a winner."
> "He’s an ethical maximalist in an industry that’s overwhelmingly populated with ethical minimalists. ... I know who I’d rather trust my money with: SBF, hands-down. And if he does end up saving the world as a side effect of being my banker, all the better."
Pretty ... unbelievable in hindsight.
