"Ellison's testimony spanned three days last October in a downtown Manhattan courtroom about how she and Bankman-Fried used Alameda Research, his hedge fund, to invest billions of dollars worth of assets secretly siphoned from customers of FTX, the cryptocurrency exchange he controlled."
"Judges often describe criminal sentencing as the most challenging part of their jobs. They must decide whether to take away a person's freedom, and how much of it."
"They say Ellison was under Bankman-Fried's sway amid their on-and-off romantic relationship, that there is virtually no risk of recidivism, and that she has already been punished through excruciating public scrutiny."
"Numerous films and TV shows are in production about the downfall of FTX, which will only perpetuate the public scrutiny Ellison has faced to date," prosecutors wrote in a filing before the sentencing hearing.
