FTX insider Caroline Ellison has been moved out of prison

Is it deliberate that I've never seen a media outlet publish a flattering photo of her?

That said, when the movie is inevitably released they'll probably cast Scarlett Johansson or Cailee Spaeny as her.

Nearly all of the photos of her I can find are of her walking to and from a car. The others (which were very few and only one of which I thought was a good photo) seem like social media pics that news agencies probably couldn't publish. That does make more challenging to get a good picture of her, but I have a hard time believing they couldn't have done better that the one at the top of the article. It's particularly bad.

just looks like a normal person who is not posing for a photo, not some influencer

To me it looks like when you take a bunch of pictures while someone is talking and some of them look extremely awkward because their mouth in a weird shape.

This one is NOT normal person not posing. This one happen to be "exaggeratedly surprised face expression" phote.

That's just how she looks. Hence all the "pin the weasel" mockery.

literally my first thought every time I read an article about her. She's either the least photogenic person ever, or this is intentional.

Perhaps she is just unattractive…

Some people are just not aesthetically pleasing.

So you can always get away with fraud?

She's still serving her sentence. Just not in prison.

As for why it is so short, that's her reward for helping them get SBF.

What's amazing is that they needed her help.

The interesting question is, will her career/business ventures suffer from here onwards?

Hopefully people recognize that while SBF lost a bunch of money on one poor investment (her), Ellison lost a bunch of money on many poor investments.

She's probably doomed in traditional investment circles but there's always crypto!

Curious how much of her ill-gotten gains she will keep.

It's hard to keep up a skin care routine in the can.

From being one of the richest men, to being sold to a lifetime of prison by your mid gf. What a wild ride!

There is no honor among thieves, and there is even less honor in women who often turn out to be legal thieves.

That should be a warning to any man, but of course that's not politically correct to say.

Honour evolved from the tendency to stay within a group. When you are in a group, your chances of survival increase. But in a group you also have to stand up for you comrades - leading to a feeling of honour. Women just end up with the winning team. It's much easier for a woman to ditch a losing group and join the winning one. That's why honour has not evolved in women as opposed to men.

At the end of the day she and the other members of the board who took the plea bargain are basically keeping most of the money, right?

I know I'm basically in conspiracy territory here, but I can't stop thinking this was planned well beforehand and SBF was just the biggest moron they could find as the fall guy. Like, if what they say about him is remotely true they could've planned everything while he was playing LoL during meetings or something.
