Inexperienced Trader Ellison Rose to Alameda CEO, Funneled Customer Funds Illegally Per Bankman-Fried Before Company Collapsed

Ellison became involved with Bankman-Fried's business in 2018 as an intern at Jane Street and bonded with him over "effective altruism."

She had little trading experience when she became co-CEO of Alameda in 2021 and sole CEO in 2022.

Alameda allegedly funneled billions in FTX customer funds for risky investments without permission.

Ellison pled guilty to fraud, testifying Bankman-Fried directed her to commit crimes.

She wrote controversial views on women as homemakers, men controlling governments, and ranking romantic partners before the collapse.
