CAROLINE ELLISON JOINS EFFECTIVE ALTRUISM PLATFORM MANIFUND
Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter
Caroline Ellison, former Alameda Research CEO who served prison time following the FTX collapse, has taken a full-time position at Manifund, an open-source effective altruism funding platform covering AI safety, poverty, and disease research. She spent roughly two months working under the pseudonym "Carol" before the public announcement, contributing to technical infrastructure, operations, and customer support. Her first contribution was a reconciliation tool that flagged misregistered transactions totaling five to six figures in Manifund's database. CEO Austin Chen framed the hire around redemption, noting Ellison has admitted fault, worked to make FTX creditors whole, and completed her prison sentence.
