Claim
He said he was unaware of the double NDAs but he himself signed them.
Correction

Leaked OpenAI offboarding documents show the ultra-restrictive NDA was signed by COO Brad Lightcap (and other exit paperwork by other executives), not by Sam Altman personally—though Altman did sign separate incorporation documents related to equity authority.

Full reasoning
Vox obtained and reviewed OpenAI offboarding documents during reporting on OpenAI’s 2024 NDA/exit-paperwork controversy. * Vox reports that **the “secret ultra-restrictive NDA” was signed by OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap**, not Sam Altman. That directly contradicts the post’s claim that Altman “himself signed” the (exit) NDAs. * Vox further notes that other parts of the termination paperwork (e.g., a separation letter) were signed by other executives (Jason Kwon and Diane Yoon). * Vox does report that **Altman signed separate incorporation documents** for the holding company that controls equity—documents that may have enabled or supported clawback authority—so it’s fair to say Altman signed *some* relevant documents. But the specific claim that he personally signed the NDAs/offboarding agreements is incorrect per the leaked document signatures described by Vox. Because the post’s sentence refers to “double NDAs” in the context of employees’ exit paperwork, the relevant question is who signed the exit NDA(s). Vox’s document review indicates it was Lightcap (not Altman).
