> As one senior executive at Microsoft put it to the New Yorker: “I think there’s a small but real chance he’s eventually remembered as a Bernie Madoff- or Sam Bankman-Fried-level scammer.” Those guys were not in Altman’s league. Even after all the burned investor money is finally written off Altman will somehow land on his feet with his personal fortune intact. He’ll still have prestige and opportunities ahead of him. Investors and business people have been falling for this clown all of these years. They won’t stop now.
