The journal makes an attempt to painting Caroline Ellison in a impartial mild by merely calling her “a math whiz who loves Harry Potter and taking huge dangers.” The journal paints her as “a brand new darling of the alt-right,” which many are merely calling false since former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and the FTX institution have allegedly been referred to as the second-largest donor to the Democrats after billionaire George Soros.

Members of the crypto group took to Twitter to precise their disdain at Forbes and different mainstream media retailers for his or her protection of FTX’s collapse.

Others merely criticized Forbes for attempting to painting Ellison as “a brand new darling of the alt-right.” 3D designer @NKdfash shared “How can she presumably be a darling of the alt proper when her scheme actually funded the Democrats? I am so confused”.

Misogyny within the crypto group
