While crypto bro scammed clients, reporters scammed readers
This makes a critical point, one that needs to be taken to heart societally at large, but I feels like it undercuts itself by burying its main arguments. The problem isn't just crypto, or business, but rather something about modern society at large -- academics, politics, the workplace, and so forth and so on, celebrity or not. There's a sort of naive head in the sand acceptance or embracing of hype that pervades everything, without enough critical caution or skepticism. SBF/FTX is a good example but by framing the article so strongly around it the broader message is diminished somewhat.
