Last week, Protos reported that a philanthropic organization associated with the effective altruism movement, Manifund, had hired Caroline Ellison, providing the former CEO of Alameda Research her first major job opportunity since being released from prison. However, the hire caused catastrophic fallout for the organization, and the CEO is now openly wondering if Ellison’s hiring could force it to shut down.
