Caroline Ellison, CEO of Alameda Research just pleaded guilty 7 counts for defrauding FTX customers. I was just looking up who her lawyer was and realized I missed this. She hired Stephanie Avakian who was at the SEC from 2016 to 2022 led a team that worked on the cases against:

-Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos
-Elon Musk for tweeting misleading statements about taking Tesla private
-Facebook for misleading investors about misusing user data
-cases against Ripple + Robinhood

@nitashatiku Elizabeth Holmes and SBF score similarly psychologically. Let’s just say they’re disconnected from any sense of humanity… like - Thanos snap on 1/2 the population and wouldn’t care. VCs have a fiduciary responsibility to make sure these profiles don’t end up lurking in their portfolios. It’s preventable.

@KarrieSully @nitashatiku what are you basing your psychoanalysis on?

@cspcypher @nitashatiku trait-based psychology has a deep connection to language. We use ML (based in computational linguistics) on publicly available speech and writing samples. All we need is 50-75 words for high accuracy personality trait assessments.

Lol - no DLT needed except if we decide to go consumer or with any expansion - we may anonymize & secure individual results via DLT. IMHO - I like security as a use case far more than transactions.
