Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the company announced on Friday.

He got billions in his account

Was unaware the man has had his bank account records leaked to the public. Do you have a source for this claim?

Seems to be somewhere between 0.5 and 0.7 billion, which due to a quirk of the English language are technicallybillions, making OP technically not wrong ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
