Caroline Ellison Joins Manifund Full-Time Under 'Carol' Alias

Caroline Ellison, the former Alameda Research CEO who helped Sam Bankman-Fried steal $8 billion in customer funds from FTX, has been hired full-time by Manifund under the name “Carol.” According to BeInCrypto, Manifund cofounder Austin Chen said she began a work trial on July 13 and moved to a full-time role on August 10, handling user support and bookkeeping for the nonprofit grant platform. Chen defended the hire on redemption grounds, while noting Ellison built a reconciliation tool that flagged misregistered transactions worth six-figure amounts.
