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.

The picture of her, wow. She’s only 30 and the pictures of her before the trial are much more inline with a 20 something. She’s going to look like a 60 year old when she’s done doing her time.
Well I know what prison gang her eugenicist ass is pledging
Wasn’t this lady also playing the role of fucktoy for him? Those two going at it doesn’t conjure a positive mental image.
Worse, on her blog she conceived of herself as the chief consort in his harem in between sharing her thoughts on race science and Harry Potter house sorting quizzes.
I can forgive stealing billions, but I draw the line at being a Harry Potter adult.
What’s the harm in a little bit of Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking?
If I say that’s weird will someone from hexbear appear to tell me I’m kink shaming?
Nah, as near as I can tell that group is vigorously in favor of suspending all human rights for capitalists, so regardless of their views on kink I think they’d be inclined to let the comment slide.
Nah it’s weird. Like it’s fine if the first part is your kink. It’s not even super rare, but firstly him? Secondly the race science. Thirdly, fuck y’all are bad at poly, like worse at poly than the people constantly talking about poly.
She commited the ultimate crime: stealing from rich people
Coincidentally I just finished the Behind the Bastards update episode on the Bankman-Fried case from back in 2023. Apparently her diary was leaked by Sam to the press in an attempt to discredit her testimony which backfired on him lmao.
Good to see her also receive consequences.
Headline rewrite because I had to read it 5 times to understand it:
Caroline Ellison, who then helped now
convitedconvicted Sam Bankman-Fried in his FTX crypto fraud, is herself convicted and sentenced to two years for fraudedit: fixed spelling thanks @[email protected]
but she also spilled beans on SBF, that’s why she’s got only 2 years and not 25 like SBF despite being equally deep in the fraud
Not equally deep:
Her sentence was lower because she 1. regretted it and 2. didn’t profit from the fraud according to the judge
I think you may have misunderstood the headline.
It’s not supposed to be “now convicted”. She helped the lawyers make a case against SBF. She helped in the process of convicting him. She helped convict him. It’s true that she did also help him do the naughty things but that’s not what this headline is saying.
Your version of the headline does not convey this aspect.
Reread your attempt again.
Saw the spelling mistake, thanks! It is now even more clear that she wasn’t sentenced to fraud because she helped convict Sam Bankman-Fried, but because of her own actions in committing fraud at the same time.
And to think she was allegedly getting more play than I have my whole life. Bizarre
It’s probably your personality.
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 usually is
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.
You haven’t started one yet
See this energy right here, I like.
Na it’s always a case of dick too big
Definitely isn’t
