"good things" is someone who claims to want to give his money away yet keeps getting richer, and is also getting a lot of his wealth by running an ethically dubious crypto exchange that is plastering its name on anything that will take their money?

He does give money away but it's hard to give quickly unless you just spray and pray which is against his ideals. And I don't agree that FTX is dubious, I think they're a genuine legit exchange. I take from your comment that your issue is with crypto, which is fine, but people are making money in that space and if someone wants to use that to their advantage to make a load of money for charitable causes I'm all for it.

So essentially, as long as he says he is only making all of this money so he can donate it, he gets the prestige of having already donated it without having done so yet, as well as a free pass to make the money however he sees fit?

He keeps getting richer because he owns a large stake in a company that's grown massively in a few years. He's given away millions of dollars by age 29.

Your criticism is he isn't giving away his money fast enough? Get a grip.
