Photos of Caroline Ellison are hard to find, so here are 20 portraits by a robot of your fallen crypto queen wishing you a very happy holiday
Nicholas Carlson
Perhaps you saw the news that earlier this week that Caroline Ellison, the former Alameda Research CEO and ex-lover of Sam Bankman-Fried, pleaded guilty to charges that carry up to 110 years in prison.
If you did, you probably saw the same photo of Ellison that everyone has seen dozens of times.
I'm talking about the one where she's looking at the camera through big glasses with a big smile, looking more like a Hufflepuff than a notorious white-collar criminal.
We at Insider are a little tired of this photo and think the world also deserves a new image of such a notable person from the tumultuous year soon coming to a close.
So we paid the robots at Lensa to come up with a new one – or a new 20 or so. And now we'd like to share them with you.
So here you are! Happy holidays from Insider and and a robot's vision of your fallen crypto queen, Caroline Ellison.
