FTX Caroline Ellison was sentenced today to 2 years in jail and to forfeit $11 billion. I thought that she would get out of jail time because of her cooperation. 11 billion dollars ... not a typo

24 months and forfeit all of her gains from FTX. Honestly more than I thought Caroline was gonna get after the glowing comments from the Judge. [image]

Quick reminder that between SBF and Caroline, only one of them ever directly asked me to make a political contribution and it was Caroline...
