It's certainly possible. Company financials can get very complicated very quickly, and it's possible that Altman was the only person (or one of a small number of people) who had the complete picture.

To be clear, this is only one possible explanation for Altman's firing. And for my money, I don't even think it's the most likely explanation. But right now, those who rely on OpenAI products should prepare for the worst, and this is one of the most existentially threatening possibilities.
