FTX executive Caroline Ellison is seeking a sentence of time served for her guilty plea on seven charges pertaining to the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange. Her sentencing submission paints her as someone whose “moral compass [was] warped” by Sam Bankman-Fried.
The probation department is also recommending time served, with three years of supervised release. Like Sam Bankman-Fried, she’s hit the maximum of 43 points on the sentencing guidelines, which would equate to a life sentence.
Exhibits include more of her diary entries to support the story that she was deeply unhappy and self-medicating with Adderall, and desperate for Sam Bankman-Fried’s approval and affection.
“I think a good night’s sleep is probably equivalent in productivity to about 7.5mg adderall, with a much nicer side effect profile”
