Alameda Research ex-CEO Caroline Ellison has been spotted in New York, according to Twitter users. The former Chief Executive Officer of crypto quantitative trading firm Alameda Research posted a photo showing a face mask and the words “New York” on her Twitter account.
Users immediately responded with memes, claiming that they saw her in the Big Apple. Ellison resigned as CEO of Alameda in February 2020, claiming that she was ridding herself of “material distractions” to focus on her meditation practice, which should help her to be “a better human being.”
In January, Alameda’s co-founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, said that the company had generated around $1.8 billion in 2019. Alameda is also responsible for launching the FTX exchange and FTT token last year.
Caroline Ellison Rumored To Be In NY
Caroline Ellison has been spotted wearing a face mask in New York City, according to Twitter users.
Ellison resigned as CEO of Alameda Research on February 3, 2020, after a report by Coindesk revealed that she had reportedly told prospective investors that Alameda’s cryptocurrency exchange could be used to launder money. She denied the allegations at the time but later admitted to making “unprofessional and inappropriate” comments during investor meetings.
Twitter users have been flooded with memes and jokes about the situation. Many users created movie posters, featuring Ellison’s face on a character in popular films. The most common theme was that of “The Avengers,” where Ellison’s face is superimposed over Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow character in scenes from the Marvel film series.
