Old drug-related tweets posted by Caroline Ellison — the 28-year-old CEO of Alameda Research, the hedge fund linked to the downfall of FTX — are resurfacing as the cryptocurrency industry crumbles.
In a 2021 tweet posted by Ellison, who is also the reported ex-girlfriend of FTX's disgraced founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, references regularly using amphetamines and how "dumb" the "non-medicated human experience" can be.
Alameda Research filed for bankruptcy in early November along with other FTX Group-linked entities after failing to secure emergency funding. Although Bankman-Fried founded Alameda, Ellison has since emerged as an integral character in its demise.
Her initial tweet about amphetamines — often prescribed to treat ADHD — was followed up by a thread of tweets detailing the "dumbest" parts of her own non-medicated day.
It's unclear exactly what Ellison meant by her April 2021 tweets. As of Saturday morning, her account only has a total of 71 tweets since joining the platform on March 2021.
Alameda served as the trading firm through which Bankman-Fried would move crypto tokens while running FTX. As the CEO of Alameda, Ellison has garnered scrutiny for her role in FTX borrowing money from customer accounts, CNN reported.
A report from CoinDesk named Ellison as the on-again-off-again girlfriend of Bankman-Fried, according to anonymous sources.
Information on the elusive Ellison is hard to come by as her Linkedin profile, online photos, and contact information have all but disappeared in the wake of the FTX implosion.

She looks like a transgender Sherman. I wonder what Peabody thinks?
You’d think that with 300 million dollars you could get your teeth fixed.
—
She’s good to have around if a beer bottle needs opening.
Hermann Goering was addicted to morphine.
She’s in Hong Kong with no extradition treaty.
The tweets are from 4/2021
US and Brits used Benzedrine
US military pilots take “go pills” during wartime.
She kind of reminds me of the landlord in Kingpin…
You’d think they’d have done something about her teeth...not that it would have helped that much.
Interesting.
I wasn’t aware of that, but I guess that is what it took to beat them.
Amphetamines and morphine is what gave Tolkien an idea for the Sauron’s ring in the LOTR.
She must have an absolutely ‘sparkling’ personality.
The type who ‘doesn’t believe in’ using artifical deoderants.
Ever meet a meth head ?
They think they are so smart they start fixing things till they quit working.
Hon, you just THINK you’re smart, it’s a drug induced delusion.
( 18 & 85 lookin,
freaking me out too now that you mention it. /-)
(She’s in Hong Kong with no extradition treaty)
Well, how convenient.
What is that?
What could go wrong?
Um, no. I don’t see her as brothel material.
So she’s a tweaker and proud of it. Nontweaking life is dumb because you have to spend a third of it asleep but tweakers don’t have to sleep. They like to talk a lot and pick at sores in the mirror and obsess on the most trivial tasks like finding a four leafed clover or actually searching through a haystack for a needle.
Crank is the nasally snorted or intraveniously injected form of amphetamines, also called meth or crystal meth. It is not related to coke and many people who have no idea about such things think crankers are cokeheads. It also is not related to opium or opioids although sometimes crank or meth is mixed with opioids like heroin or fentanyl. Cocaine users are not stupid enough to mix coke with meth. Coke is way too expensive. People who use meth could not afford coke and became addicted.
I have seen numerous people in my own life who used meth and I can spot meth user a mile away. Sometimes people who use meth have jobs and think people can’t tell they are tweaking. Inevitably they will lose their job because crank is not compatible with work.
I saw the guy interviewed in the past, on CNN I think, and he was shaking the entire time.
