This Strongly Appears To Be Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison's Tumblr Account

We're just beginning to understand the mystery of one of the biggest personalities at the center of the FTX collapse.

The CEO of FTX's sister company, Alameda Research, which is accused of using FTX's customers' funds for trading, is now the focus of attention.

Ellison was romantically involved with Bankman- Fried while they lived at a house in the Bahamas. It's not clear what structure those relationships took and whether they were monogamous or not, leading to widespread speculation that the group may have been involved in some sort of polyamorous relationship at the same time.

We can say with some degree of certainty that we've found Ellison'stumblr.com and that it contains clues about the polycule theory.

Under the handle "worldoptimization," the post was linked to Ellison's actual account on the social media platform. If this is a fake, it's an extremely dedicated one, started by an imposter before Ellison became CEO and even before the current scandal.

If the site is legit, there are a number of posts that are downright cringe-inducing. She has a list of attractive qualities in a man that include controlling most major world governments and being strong.

Polyamory was also referenced multiple times. It described a situation that was similar to the "FTX polycule" claims.

When I first got into poly, I thought of it as a break from my past, but now I think the only acceptable style is something like Chinese harem. Everyone should have a ranking of their partners, people should know where they are ranked, and there should be vicious power struggles for the higher ranks.

There is nothing wrong with practicing polyamory in a fulfilling and ethical way.

It's not a good idea to date your coworkers because it can lead to power imbalances, conflicts of interest, and other unpleasant workplace dynamics.

The way Ellison describes the dynamic, even if it's a mistake, sounds toxic. Power struggles in a relationship. No thanks, that's right.

Whatever style of relationships did dominate this particular workplace, they didn't end well, judging by the spectacular implosion of FTX.

This saga continues to surprise us. I hope it doesn't give the polyamory community a bad name.

The FTX collapse is sogregious that even the Bahamas are investigating.
