Former Alameda Research CEO Claims Sam Bankman-Fried ‘Directed’ Her to Commit Crimes Caroline Ellison, a tech executive and one-time girlfriend of former FTX cryptocurrency exchange CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, testified on Tuesday that she participated in a fraud scheme alongside the embattled executive.
Ms Ellison is the CEO of Alameda Research, a hedge fund that operated alongside FTX.
She is one of three former members of Mr Bankman-Fried’s inner circle who have pleaded guilty to fraud charges and who have agreed to cooperate with the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office case against the crypto mogul, according to Reuters.
