Caroline Ellison wrote a steamy Bridgerton-style romance novel as she waited to learn her fate for participating in the multi-billion-dollar crypto fraud at FTX , her mom has revealed.
The Stanford-educated Ellison had a tempestuous on-off relationship with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and mused about experimenting with polyamory — and then famously turned feds’ witness and gave damning evidence against her ex.
“She has written a charming novella (set in Edwardian England and loosely based on her sister Kate’s imagined amorous exploits, to Kate’s great delight),” her mother Sara Fisher Ellison wrote in a letter asking the sentencing judge for leniency.
“She is working on another novel, which we have yet to see,” the mother added.
The 29-year-old now has ample time to finish that follow-up — she was sentenced to two years in prison Tuesday for her role in the FTX catastrophe, which saw billions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency vanish in days in 2022.
