Summary
Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research, admitted in her diary that she was not well-suited to run the failed trading desk, according to court documents cited by the New York Times. Ellison, who is the ex-girlfriend of alleged fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried, also wrote that it felt great when the FTX empire collapsed. She will now be the star witness in Bankman-Fried's October trial. The NYT did not mention that Ellison's writing also discussed her fascination with race science and polyamory, nor did it mention that Bankman-Fried admitted the "ethics stuff" was mostly a front.
