Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
Her digital footprint, which included Tumblr posts on race science and polyamory, provided substantial fuel for social media mockery and tabloid headlines
Very polite way of phrasing 'virulent racist regurgitates pseudoscientific garbage which has been disproven for years'
Weird how media is always impartial and unbiased when it comes to evaluating these types of cretins, I wonder why
Did she just defraud cryptobros, or did she do something I should actually be mad about?
She was a massive racist who was into "Imperial harem polyamory" and stole billions of dollars, bribed politicians and was the one actually carrying out the crimes SBF got convicted of.
I mean we can all acy like we're above it i guess. But i actually do find it pretty disgusting to defraud people for billions of dollars.
If we're going to hate cryptobros for being greedy, gambling capitalists I don't see how this harem wouldn't be one of the worst offenders
Harry Potter race science.
Harry potter 
is she the one that made really cringe raps?
Our beloved Razzlekhan would never be racist.
You're thinking of Razzlekhan/Heather Morgan who is a rapper and stole billions in a separate crypto incident. Caroline is the sultry wood nymph. Do try to keep up, this is the future of finance.
🤣🥲
hahaha!
... testifying that her former paramour directed her to commit crimes
I'm just a smol bean, I didn't know what I was doing!
Her digital footprint, which included Tumblr posts on race science...
crime does pay off in capitalism doesn't it
At her 2024 sentencing, Judge Lewis Kaplan said that he had never seen someone cooperate with prosecutors like Ellison in his 30 years on the bench. Kaplan nevertheless told the court that, given the severity of the crimes, he had decided to sentence Ellison to jail time. He ordered her to forfeit $11bn in assets.
Depends if she's got something stashed or really did cooperate fully
$11bn in assets
Death penalty without reprieve is the least she and the rest of the scumbag execs deserve, but unfortunately that's not happening currently outside of China.
I wonder if that's real assets or just made up crypto bullshit you can't actually cash out
Probably a mix of both but honestly I think it's largely irrelevant. She, BankmanFried and the rest of the board/exec ghouls would be shot in a just society.
Facts 
My wild guess based on nothing more than my wild hunches is that she's got at least $50 million. "I don't know..." and "I don't remember..." are lies that ~~cannot~~ will not be prosecuted. If she managed to squirrel away 0.1% - that's $11 million. I think it's safe to assume she hid far more than that.

Edit. I realized that - of course - sometimes judges can and do put their knee on the neck of witnesses when they want to force them to talk. But I assume that's insanely rare in the US when it comes to white collar crime. Judges take the liars at their word.
