Sam Bankman-Fried leaked Caroline Ellison's diary with New York Times to paint her as a 'jilted lover,' prosecutors say
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have accused Bankman-Fried of perpetuating a scheme where he allegedly defrauded customers of his cryptocurrency trading platform, FTX, in part by commingling funds with Alameda Research, a hedge fund he also controlled.Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research, has pleaded guilty to her part in the scheme and is cooperating with prosecutors in their investigation. The case is slated to go to trial in October.
The Times story doesn't say how the reporters obtained the diary entries. But prosecutors wrote it was"apparent" that Bankman-Fried shared them. They asked US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who's overseeing the case, to issue an order limiting what Bankman-Fried is allowed to share with other people ahead of the trial.
Prosecutors say Bankman-Fried gave"a misleading patina of legitimacy" to an effort to discredit Ellison in the case.
