What’s Sam Altman’s connection to Reddit?

He was an angel investor and also onboarded a bunch of celebrity investors.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to whitewash this, since it became a minor point of contention a few months ago

Was also interim CEO for 8 days, to give you an idea of how involved he was. I'll update with more info and sources later if I have time, otherwise Wayback Machine is your friend
