The Giving Pledge.
"FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was removed from the list in December 2022 following his arrest.[10]" * (Subscription article)
I wonder what specifically axed him from the list.
For those not familiar w the Giving Pledge, it is: "... a charitable campaign, founded by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, to encourage wealthy people to contribute a majority (i.e. more than 50%) of their wealth to philanthropic causes. As of June 2022, the pledge has had 236 signatories from 28 countries.[1] Most of the signatories of the pledge are billionaires..."

FAQ - The Giving Pledge:
"I’m not a billionaire. Can I join the Giving Pledge?
"The Giving Pledge is focused on billionaires (those with a net worth of U.S. $1 billion or more), or those who would be billionaires if not for their giving."
Looks like some of us will not be on the GP list. LOL. That's okay , as also noted:
"Everyone is encouraged to engage in charitable and philanthropic giving, as their resources allow. There are many ways to play a role in making our communities better, including volunteering our time to organizations and causes we care about."
