Former Alameda CEO’s Tumblr Blog Explores Racial Science, ‘Imperial Chinese Harem’ Polyamory

As observers try to make sense of the ongoing daunting collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, details have begun to emerge about the unconventional internal practices and beliefs of the once-dominant corporate leadership.

The former CEO of Alameda Research, Caroline Ellison, Bankman’s remarriage, Freed’s ex-girlfriend’s remarriage, and the weird Tumblr blog she supposedly maintains for years stand out.

FTX founder and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried lived in a $30 million penthouse in the Bahamas with nine other colleagues until this week. According to Coindesk, most of the high-level decisions regarding the operations of the $32 billion exchange FTX and its sister trading firm Alameda Research reportedly involved each other romantically or sexually at one time. It was done by these 10 roommates.

This group was called a “policule”, a romantic network of multiple people bound together by overlapping sexual relationships.

Alameda, ostensibly a separate trading entity from FTX, is said to have siphoned billions of dollars from FTX customer accounts without the knowledge of its users. A report released on Monday said the company may have engaged in the illegal practice of front-running by making investment decisions based on insider knowledge of the upcoming token launch on FTX’s trading platform. clarified.

Now, Ellison’s linked blog details shed light on the former Alameda CEO’s personal beliefs and world philosophy. It is shaped by a hardline take on polyamory and sexual competition, a fascination with racial science, and a belief in the natural synergy of cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrencies. scam.

A Tumblr account active from 2014 until it was deleted on Sunday was called “Fake Charity Geek Girl” and had the handle “World Optimized”. The author’s personal details (education, work history, life history, etc.) revealed in her eight years of activity on the account are perfectly consistent with Ellison’s biography. Additionally, when the creator of the account announced the creation of her Twitter account in March 2021, she linked to her Twitter page of Ellison, which was created in the same month.

Not a cryptocurrency trading genius, but a “polyamory” expert

Ellison’s linked Tumblr account sheds light on the potential for sexual dynamics at FTX’s live-in headquarters.

“When I first started making my first foray into poly, I saw it as a radical break from my traditional past.” Ellison’s account was written in February 2020, two years after his tenure at Alameda Research. “But to be honest, I’ve come to believe that the only style of polygon that’s acceptable is something akin to ‘Chinese Imperial Harem.'”

The story went on to explain how polyamorous relationships ideally function as intense markets for sexual competition and conquest.

“No this non-hierarchical nonsense,” the account continued. “Everyone should rank their partners, know where they are ranked, and there should be vicious power struggles over ranks.”

The author’s fascination with the dynamics of sex and power was evident throughout this article. In another post, the author said the two key traits of a “pretty boy” are “controlling most of the major world governments” and “strong enough to overwhelm you physically”. I said there is.

Accounts linked to Ellison also showed a strong interest in “hbd” or “human biodiversity”. This is an online euphemism for the discredited field of racial science and eugenics propagated by the alt-right.

Ellison has been vocal about her Harry Potter obsession for years. Her associated Tumblr account linked her love of online character quizzes to her penchant for classifying Indians by caste.

“Part of me who’s into HBD feels the same as part of me who’s into personality types and ‘Which character are you’ quizzes,” the account wrote. “There is a stereotype among racists that East Asians speak Chinese or something.” I will tease you by mentioning it. This is because genetic differences are large. ”

The post included a warning that said “offensive and sorry” and the hashtag “#racism”.

Throughout the history of white supremacy, Indian caste (a socially manipulated, arbitrary classification of India’s population accelerated during India’s brutal colonization by the British) Caste was strongly associated with skin color in India, especially under the British. I believed. Hitler sent a Nazi expedition in 1939 to explore the Himalayan ruins of the ancient Indus civilization, the origin of the Aryan race.

Ellison’s associated Tumblr account seemed equally fascinated by the role of the Indus Valley Civilization in the history of alleged genetic differences among Indians.

Not the biggest crypto fan

However, a post by an account that sheds light on the author’s impressions of the crypto space may have had the most direct relevance to last week’s events.

“I did not approach this issue as a true cryptocurrency believer,” the Ellison-linked account wrote in March. “It boils down to mostly scams and memes.”
