Will Anthropic return the $580M in Series B funding led by SBF?

What will happen to this money? Will it be clawed back in bankruptcy proceedings? If Anthropic isn’t legally obligated to return it, will they voluntarily return it out of ethical and reputational concerns? How will this affect their operations and runway?

I wonder if the FTX liquidators have already contacted them saying not to spend it.

> The Series B follows the company raising $124 million in a Series A round in 2021. The Series B round was led by Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of FTX. The round also included participation from Caroline Ellison, Jim McClave, Nishad Singh, Jaan Tallinn, and the Center for Emerging Risk Research (CERR).
