At first, the financial scandal at crypto exchange FTX was all about its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried (30). But now more details are coming to light. And it focuses on a woman in this country who has hardly made the headlines: Caroline Ellison (29). According to US media, Bankman-Fried is said to be his ex-girlfriend and is at the center of the financial scandal.
Ellison didn’t work directly for FTX. He was the CEO of FTX’s sister company, Alameda. The company is allegedly investing customer money from FTX into crypto companies without investors knowing about it. The US media is talking about $8 billion that is said to have flowed from FTX to Alameda. Ellison gambled – Alameda also fell into the FTX vortex.
sex and drug parties
Ellison is considered talented. He is said to have written a scientific paper at the age of eight and given it to his father. According to research from crypto news portal CoinDesk, Ellison is said to be part of the FTX and Alameda teams that share a large communal flat in the Bahamas. There they celebrated regular orgies. Ellison wrote on social networks about a “harem” in connection with the notorious sharing of apartments in the Bahmas.
Drugs are said to be involved in orgies. The Wall Street Journal reported that taking stimulants was common practice among Bankman-Fried’s circle. Ellison tweeted last year, “There’s nothing like regular amphetamine use to understand how stupid the normal, non-drug human experience is.”
$30 million for the luxury apartment share
One thing is clear: the executives of Bahamas-based crypto exchange FTX had a good time before the collapse at the expense of customers. This is evident from court records. Bankman-Fried is said to have paid $30 million for accommodation in the Bahmas.
