[Former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison Joins Nonprofit Charity Manifund] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on September 12, former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison has joined the nonprofit charity organization Manifund. Manifund co-founder Austin Chen stated that Ellison will be responsible for developing the organization's donation platform and enhancing its charitable efforts. Ellison began a trial period at the organization in July, transitioned to a full-time role in August, and has been publishing work updates under the pseudonym 'Carol.' Ellison pleaded guilty in December 2022 to charges of fraud and conspiracy related to the 2022 collapse of the FTX exchange, an event that resulted in billions of dollars in customer losses. She cooperated with prosecutors, testified against FTX founder SBF, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Ellison began serving her two-year sentence in November 2024 and was released early in January 2026 for her cooperation in the investigation. In a post, Chen stated: 'I believe in redemption. Caroline has acknowledged her mistakes, worked to repay creditors, and served her time in prison. I hope the world can recognize this as well.' Ellison expressed excitement about her new role, apologized for her past actions, and thanked Austin for giving her a second chance, noting that he judged her based on her current performance rather than her past. According to its website, Manifund focuses on projects related to AI safety and effective altruism.
