The Spin
Narrative A
Sam Bankman-Fried continues to show an untenable lack of judgment — including leaking the intimate and personal writings of Caroline Ellison to discredit her as a witness. These moves inflict emotional damage and, while Ellison may have been involved in FTX’s crimes, her misdeed pale in comparison to SBF's crimes.
Narrative B
Birds of a feather flock together, and Caroline Ellison seems just as wrapped up in the FTX fraud scandal as SBF. The truth is that neither of these individuals is a victim, and both co-orchestrated one of the largest financial fraud scandals in history.
