In a letter to the judge, Ellison’s mother, professor Sara Fisher Ellison, wrote that Ellison has completed a romantic novella and is already at work on a follow-up. The finished novella is “set in Edwardian England and loosely based on [Ellison’s] sister Kate’s imagined amorous exploits, to Kate’s great delight,” her mother wrote.

oh yeah she got two years’ jail for her part in stealing eleven fucking billion with a B dollars

A slap on the wrist compared to Sam Bankman-Fried’s twenty-five years. Turns out working with the feds, admitting your guilt and knowing when to fold 'em are pretty important when karma finally catches up with you.
word on the street it that SBF and Diddy are sharing a cell. I can’t wait for the NFT album to drop
SBF used to be in brooklyn, then was moved somewhere to california back in may, but it’s written like he’s back in brooklyn so maybe he was moved back or something https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/sean-diddy-combs-moved-section-new-york-city-jail-housing-sam-bankman-rcna172419
Diddy and the Sam
they’re Diddy and the Sam
one’s a sex offender* and the other is a scam* allegedly
This could result in the worst podcast of all time
Will Ellison include her love for hierarchical, power-struggle Chinese harem dynamics in this novella or is she saving it for the sequel?
new meta for cultivation novels: prison literature
The rationalists - sometimes making me question my commitment to prison abolition. Actually, not frequently enough, considering how few are arrested.
Diddy and the Sam, it’s Diddy and the Sam
What are we going to do today, Sam?
The same thing we do every day, Diddy. Try to convince them to let me play League of Legends again.
the one thinks he’s a genius, the other’s less insane
“completed” I guarantee it’s AI gen’ed. Note to self: use LLM to pump out a novel if/when I need to show I’m turning over a new leaf
Also: note that it is centred around her sister. Note to self: do not direct LLM to write erotica about a sibling, because that is not a normal thing to do for someone turning over a new leaf.
She wrote real-person erotic fanfic about her sister?
Straight to jail.
PROSECUTOR, PROBATION SERVICE: look, even we think time served for this one
(Judge reads Caroline’s book)
JUDGE: Jail for Caroline! Jail for Caroline for seven hundred and thirty days!
please be gentle with my child, they will soon have a presence on the discount paperback rack at the local grocery store
And via the links at the bottom of that page, we learn that drugs are going to need a major makeover to become cool again.

eleven fucking billion with a B dollars
Sure in digital monopoly money, but how much was that in real money put into the system?
no this was the actual fiat value
the ftx fraud is fucking wild. everything about it is insane.
Right, and then she gets less time than people who shoplifted a few times.
And less time than her partner-in-crime, who went out of his way to show a complete lack of remorse and a strong willingness to reoffend, all whilst lying out his ass to basically everyone.
Honestly, SBF’s antics probably helped make Ellison look like her role in this was much smaller than it actually was
Ryan Salame went down hard though, basically for being a huge asshole
his stuff in the Lewis book is amazing. Lewis seems actually sympathetic to Salame and he still sounds like the stupendous shithead he is out his own mouth

this can’t be what it sounds like. it just can’t be
