Caroline Ellison has joined Manifund
What it is
An 11 September 2026 announcement post on the Effective Altruism Forum, by Manifund's Austin, saying Caroline Ellison started a work trial on 13 July and moved to a full-time role on 10 August, working on their funding platform and on research into directing philanthropic money. Free to read; heavily debated in the comments.
Why I recommend it
Filed as a primary document, not an endorsement. Caroline Ellison was a central figure in the collapse of FTX and served a prison sentence for fraud; this is the hiring organization's own framing of taking her on. It is worth reading alongside the comment thread, which was strongly negative at the time I added it, if you want to see how a movement argues in public about who it lets back in.
