That's what internal controls are there for to prevent. Especially for owner-CEOs. FTX set up shop somewhere in the carribean just to avoid that kind of oversight and control. I can hardly imagine a bigger red flag than that.

That people just accept that founder CEOs are allowed to do everything with their companies, and their companies money, is troubling. Because, as soon as said company is a seperate legal entity, it is the companies assets and not the founders anymore.

Maybe even CompSci graduates shoupd get some basics of business, legal and ethics during their studies.
