Qui est sorti avec Caroline Ellison?

Caroline Ellison, née en 1994 est une femme d'affaires américaine. Elle était PDG de la société Alameda Research (en), une société de trading quantitatif fondée par Sam Bankman-Fried. Selon une source anonyme citée par le Wall Street Journal en novembre 2022, Alameda Research avait une dette de 10 milliards de dollars envers FTX. La source a précisé que FTX avait prêté de l'argent à Alameda Research sur les fonds déposés par la clientèle de FTX. Caroline Ellison a quitté ses fonctions chez Alameda après la faillite de cette dernière.

Les faillites de FTX et Alameda Research à la fin de l'année 2022 créent un scandale financier international et conduisent à son arrestation et inculpation, notamment pour fraude.

Samuel Benjamin Bankman-Fried (born March 5, 1992), commonly known as SBF, is an American entrepreneur and convicted felon. Bankman-Fried founded the FTX cryptocurrency exchange and was celebrated as a "poster boy" for crypto, with FTX having a global reach with more than 130 international affiliates. At the peak of his net worth, he was ranked the 41st-richest American in the Forbes 400.

In November 2022, as evidence of potential fraud began to surface, depositors quickly withdrew their assets from FTX, forcing the company into bankruptcy. On December 12, 2022, Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas and extradited to the United States, where he was indicted on seven criminal charges, including wire fraud, commodities fraud, securities fraud, money laundering, and campaign finance law violations.

In the case of United States v. Bankman-Fried, he was convicted of all seven counts of fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering. On March 28, 2024, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to forfeit $11 billion. The trial was one of the most notorious cases of white-collar crime in the United States; the financier Anthony Scaramucci termed Bankman-Fried "the Bernie Madoff of crypto".
