Wait did I see “ Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan” as an investor?

Are they putting Canadian public funds into Anthropic?

Weren't they also a significant investor in FTX?

Yes. So they indirectly owned some Anthropic through the FTX bankruptcy. I kinda wonder whether they somehow opted to keep their Anthropic stake when the FTX estate sold. Or maybe they bought it at some other time.

was FTX actually liquidated? Last I read the lawyers were just busy paying themselves $500,000 a day

Yes. Among other things, the Anthropic stake was sold, and repayments have begun. The full process will probably drag out through next year at least.

On the lawyer fees...do you expect someone to do it for free? Would you rather hire someone without the expertise? Do you think the crimes are the estate lawyers' fault?

Process costs money. You can sneer at the professionals that work hard to keep a lawful society in order, if you like. SBF sure did. Look where that got him.

No, I'm just surprised they actually are making payments. I had no personal stake in FTX, so I didn't closely track it.
