Bloomberg: Caroline Ellison hired ex-SEC official to protect her interests
Former SEC employee Stephanie Avakian has agreed to represent the interests of the former head of Alameda Research, Caroline Ellison, during the federal investigation into the collapse of FTX. Bloomberg writes about it.
At the Commission, Avakyan headed the law enforcement department and oversaw cases in relation to cryptocurrency projects, including Ripple and Robinhood. In 2020, she reported a record amount of penalties for unregistered ICOs - more than $4.68 billion.
According to Bloomberg, Allison will receive additional legal support from WilmerHale lawyers.
