Former FTX figure Ellison takes platform lead at Manifund, prompting redemption debate
Caroline Ellison, the ex- Alameda Research CEO who pled guilty in the FTX fraud case, has reportedly begun a full-time role at Manifund to help develop its platform and research how philanthropic dollars should be directed. The hiring followed a period of secrecy, including Ellison working under a pseudonym during a work trial, and has sparked a mixed reaction about redemption, transparency, and accountability in the EA-aligned nonprofit world.
