Caroline Ellison, the ex-girlfriend of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, has been sentenced to two years in prison for her role in the $8bn (£6bn) fraud that triggered the implosion of the cryptocurrency exchange.
Ellison, 29, was given a prison sentence on Tuesday night at a hearing in Manhattan, even though the judge recognised her extensive cooperation with prosecutors.
She had pleaded guilty to seven felony counts of fraud and conspiracy.
The even though is why she only got two years….Sam’s getting out somewhat later, no?
You don’t understand, Tim, she’s a woman who fell in with – and was led astray by – a man. And so should face no punishment at all.
All those years of feminist struggle have been for nothing if the courts don’t realise this!
A fine example of how blackmail and bribery works.
If I was worth $26bn I’d have supermodels dripping off my arm, not plain Jane
Wow, she is ugly.
Oh, Steve, how ungallant. She’s “homely” or “plain”.
There are plenty uglier than her in the USA.
Talking of ungallant whatever happened to Mr Ecks?

He disappeared during Covid so my guess his increasingly fervent and demented rants led to a stroke or heart attack, or maybe Covid got him? Now that would have been ironic.
Or maybe he went back on his meds and he’s leading a normal life somewhere.
DM – to be honest, I haven’t seen many less attractive 20something women.
Maybe she has a good personality or something? She looks special.
BiND – I’m certifiably insane, so I can tell you mental illness is no joke. Unless you’re an escaped mental patient dressed as Santa Claus.
Hopefully Ecksy won the Lottery and is sipping a mojito on some tropic beach where the sand is warm and the sea sparkles like sapphires.
