No.
Let's review how this went down:
1. I share my experience (which I know many can corroborate) that this premeditated fraud was known, deemed cute, had no obvious ill-effect for its participants --who were openly talking about it after the fact, while maintaining their social status locally.
I'm writing for my mutuals, who know that I know things and represent them honestly. This gets signal boosted angrily by a bigger account, gets the attention of some admonymous bros (hi).
2. Multiple people drop in to claim variations on "that's no evidence" ie, my account is no evidence. Very rude. Also epistemically bad behavior.
3. Then, two other people drop in unprompted to corroborate the (implausible to some, just a moment before) claim that yes --this was premeditated fraud.
That is corroborating evidence that this was widely (not universally!) known in the broader community. Just as I claimed.
To get from "premeditated fraud" "widely known" to "de facto accepted", while also (rudely) discounting my evidence to zero, you only need ask yourself, "Did this hurt their social standing" to which the answer is very obviously "No" if you are at all plugged into the scene. Of course I could spell out many examples but iykyk and if you don't you're not likely to take my point anyway.
To put a finer point on it, returning to my OP:
"Was SBF denounced by the rat/ea scene for doing fraud, or for getting caught -> being a PR liability?"
Since we have cases in front of us of:
"Did fraud, confessed fraud, fraud widely known in the community (but not externally, so no PR problem), zero repentance for fraud, zero sanction for fraud" that STRONGLY SUGGESTS that --in fact, as I have claimed-- this community is WAY too blasé about crimes generally and fraud in particular.
If that isn't enough, if you look at my conversation with
@jackinwarsaw in the replies, you'll see a completely separate publicly discussed case of accepted fraud --and special pleading mental gymnastics to try and round it off to something more minor (privacy of thought) by jack (whom I like, again, nothing against any individuals here it's a fundamentally corrupt culture).
