Sam Altman, you've built a great company, OpenAI, but your actions speak louder than your words. You once warned that AI might lead to the end of the world, yet your moves suggest a different priority: profit over principle.

Count one: Fraud is now a matter for the courts. On April 28, 2026, a federal trial opened in Oakland against you and OpenAI. The court has found enough evidence to let a jury decide if you breached the charitable trust that was supposed to govern OpenAI's transition to a for-profit entity.

Count two: Hypocrisy in public dealings. Anthropic refused a Pentagon contract on ethical grounds. Yet, OpenAI, under your leadership, signed a similar deal, with less stringent safeguards. This contradiction cost you public trust and led to internal dissent.

Count three: Warnings sold while shipping the threats. You decry an AI 'fraud crisis' even as your technology contributes to it. And when tragedy struck in Tumbler Ridge, your company’s inaction spoke volumes.

We aren't asking for apologies or resignations. We demand accountability. Fund independent journalism to investigate AI industry fraud, including OpenAI's. $36.5 million is a small price for public accountability.

This isn't about buying coverage. It's about ensuring transparency in an industry shaping our future. The public deserves a newsroom that asks tough questions without fear. Your response will be published, whether yes or no. Either way, we'll see you in the search results.
