As Business Insider reports, Ellison has done a sensible thing in response to a disaster of this nature – scrubbed her public persona off the Internet and gone silent. What we know about her comes largely from her pre-FTX life and what little of her online presence is still accessible.
A graduate of Stanford, Ellison began her career as a trader at Jane Street, the same quantitative trading company where Sam Bankman-Fried started out. Ellison was there just 19 months before Bankman-Fried recruited her for Alameda Research (via eFinancialCareers). While her initial role wasn’t clear, per Ellison and others, SBF tended to be “cagey” about details in his businesses, a habit that has since turned out poorly. She was co-CEO as of October 2021 and sole CEO after Sam Trabucco stepped down in August of this year (via CoinDesk).
From that point on, things grew eventful and complicated for both FTX and Alameda Research. Both relocated to the Bahamas, a country known for its crypto-friendly laws. Executives at both businesses had an unconventional working and personal arrangement — up to 9 high-level FTX and Alameda employees cohabited and worked from a resort on the tiny island of New Providence. Stimulants were apparently popular. SBF famously described his work regimen on Twitter as “stimulants when you wake up, sleeping pills if you need them when you sleep.” As for Ellison:
