Both Ellison and Wang are cooperating with the Southern District of New York.
He who turns over first gets the best deal. Minimum time for Baby Doll I guess.
Well, the only problem is, any testimony regarding payoffs to Demoncrats will never, ever see the light of day..
I wonder if everyone will plead guilty, everyone will swing an immunity deal, and no one will ever be punished. Because I think I’ve seen that movie before.

That was too quick. Did the top-notch lawyers squeeze mega-millions out of these clients?

really worth a complete read ...
btw, i’ve been keeping close tabs on this whole saga, and there’s not been a single word about these two being charged, much less pleading guilty ... the Feds are REALLY pissed and moving at the speed of light on this one ... it’s almost certain that wang and ellison must have secretly approached the Feds for a deal, because they weren’t even in the U.S. ... ellison was thought to have been in hong kong ...
wang and ellison must have cut major deals to rat out SBF and all the rest of the supporting scoundrel cast ...

An interesting tidbit from coindesk:
“Ellison will be permitted bail, provided she can provide a $250,000 personal recognizance bond and restrict travel to the continental United States. She will also need to surrender any travel documents she has.
The plea deal also contains language that says if Ellison is not a U.S. citizen, it is very likely that her removal from the U.S. will be mandatory. It is assumed that Ellison is a U.S. national, but it is unclear if she might have abandoned her nationality for a citizenship of convenience for tax reasons which is a popular trend among some crypto traders living abroad, as the U.S. taxes non-residents.”
