Just curious - would this negatively affect OpenAI's ability to acquire companies in the future?

This isn’t a great look for OpenAI, but acquisitions fall through all the time.

The issue isn’t an acquisition not working out, it’s that the founding/exec team felt it appropriate to arrange their own exits and abandon their team before even communicating that their “successful exit” wasn’t actually happening.

They have got get their act together from a structure standpoint or these types of acquisitions are going keep failing.
