Caroline Ellison has been sentenced to two years in jail for her role in the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which has been described as one of biggest financial frauds in US history.

Ellison was a top executive at the firm and is also the ex-girlfriend of its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for stealing $8bn (£6.3bn) from customers.

As part of a plea deal, Ellison admitted charges including wire fraud and money laundering, and testified against Bankman-Fried.

        Idk hers is really bad.

        The big thing is she found her people. Weird losers who were into a crypto securities crime polycule, but hey, that’s who she was and who she was interested in.

          It most definitely is, but I understand that. I haven’t personally defrauded people or tried to start a weird harem cult with a bunch of horned up crypto bros. I’m an asshole, yeah, and I understand that makes me undesirable. I just feel like morally, she’s shittier than I am

            This could be one of the lamest attempts to bail one’s self out that I’ve ever seen.

            You should have just deleted your original comment, as you know exactly what dig you were making, and that it had absolutely nothing to do with differences in ethics.

            Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

              I feel you’re implying that I was insulting her looks. It’s a fair assumption, but it’s incorrect. Insulting her appearance is shallow and lazy and she has limited control over her looks, besides, I would be inadvertently insulting anyone else who happens to look like her. I am insulting her personality. She’s a vile person who treats people like garbage, that can be seen through her messages and posts that got exposed through this whole ordeal.
