One thing I don't understand is why Paul Graham offered YC to Altman if he knew how slippery he was..
Paul answers that here: https://x.com/paulg/status/2041363640499200353?s=20
This is PG's response about Sam leaving YC. It says nothing about the original motivation of offering him the position at YC.
Perhaps your question answers itself.
