In a recent development, Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research, has requested the court to keep personal information of her supporters confidential during her upcoming sentencing.
Her legal team filed this request on September 9, 2024, in the Southern District of New York, with concerns about privacy and safety being central to the argument. According to her attorney, Anjan Sahni, the letters of support contain sensitive details about her living situation, which, if disclosed, could expose her to further harassment.
This request follows a history of public interest and media scrutiny surrounding Ellison, especially after her testimony during the criminal trial of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. The sentencing is set for September 24, 2024.
Meanwhile, on the broader front of the cryptocurrency world, digital assets like Bitcoin are now influencing the political landscape in the United States. For the first time, cryptocurrency regulation has emerged as a key issue in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. A new report from Gemini, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, revealed that a substantial number of American crypto owners are considering the regulatory stance of candidates as a factor in their voting decisions.
The survey, which included 6,000 adults from the U.S., U.K., France, Singapore, and Turkey, found that 73% of U.S. respondents who own crypto will factor a candidate’s stance on the subject into their vote. Moreover, 37% of those surveyed said that the candidate’s approach to cryptocurrency would significantly influence their decision at the polls. This shift highlights the growing role of digital assets in national politics.
