Intelligence is unrelated to integrity, at least by common wisdom.
A common Warren Buffet quote passed around :
"We look for three things when we hire people. We look for intelligence, we look for initiative or energy, and we look for integrity. And if they don't have the latter, the first two will kill you, because if you're going to get someone without integrity, you want them lazy and dumb"
Building a company based on fraud is potentially more of a marker of ruthlessness over intelligence, but certainly we don't know with certainty, and it is likely a combination of the two.
I would agree. He was definitely connected, and definitely smart. Anyone would drive in such a position could make a successful company. But he was ruthless and also has no moral compass, so he became a crypto fraudster.

Be honest with the people who report to you about your feelings. You don't have to go out of your way to stir up trouble, but if people come to you with concerns that you share, it can be very helpful to know that you're not alone and your manager is on your side.

> “Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer”. We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish word for “free” as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis.
I’ve been working from home for 8 years and I’ve had to relearn how to do it during this pandemic as well.
My normal trick is to walk to a local coffee shop in the morning. After a few hours I’ll go to a coworking space or similar. Same thing in the afternoon.
For me, part of that is just having a routine. So instead of working at the coffee shop, I’ve been taking a walk in the morning to get a coffee to go and just walking back home.
I think any activity that involves getting out of your house — even just a walk around the block — can be a good reset before or after work.
