I don't think this is apt. FTX was formed by a team of people who very much seemed to be EA-aligned and EA-inspired at the time of forming. Elie and Madoff had no such connection - Elie's only interaction with Madoff was as a victim.
You can quite reasonably make the claim that EA has very little blame, but certainly if you were going to rank both scenarios, we would at least be somewhat more at fault than Elie was.

Unfortunately, it's probably a really bad look to imply that we're akin to Holocaust survivors.
Thanks Gordon for this helpful criticism. I will try to include such links on future posts. (Please don't hesitate to call me out if I fail to do so.) Here is a link about Open Philanthropy's support of approval voting, and a talk on approval voting at EA Global London. Thanks again.
Thanks Eli.
