Бывший генеральный директор Alameda Research Кэролайн Эллисон приговорена к двум годам тюрьмы за ее роль в мошенничестве с FTX

Нью-Йорк – Бывший генеральный директор Alameda Research Кэролайн Эллисон была приговорена федеральным судьей во вторник к 24 месяцам (или двум годам) тюремного заключения.

Судья заявил, что Эллисон, которому также придется заплатить около 11 миллиардов долларов, может отбывать наказание в исправительном учреждении минимального режима.

Эллисон дал показания против Бэнкмана-Фрида во время его уголовного процесса в прошлом году, утверждая, что он пытался подкупить иностранных должностных лиц и намеренно предоставлял кредиторам вводящие в заблуждение финансовые данные.

Ее показания были «краеугольным камнем» в осуждении Бэнкмана-Фрида, заявили прокуроры в меморандуме о приговоре перед слушанием во вторник. Бэнкман-Фрид был признан виновным по всем семи пунктам обвинения в мошенничестве и сговоре, и в начале этого года был приговорен к 25 годам тюрьмы. Сейчас он обжалует приговор.

Адвокаты Эллисон перед слушанием утверждали, что она оказывала «исключительное сотрудничество» и не представляла риска рецидивизма.

OpenAI Partners with PE Firms, Investing $4 Billion. Let's Talk About Silicon Valley's Hottest New Role: FDE.

The hottest new role in Silicon Valley is the Forward Deployment Engineer (FDE), a hybrid of engineer and business consultant whose core mission is to transform AI demos into native, practical workflows within client organizations. The recent surge in demand is driven by a strategic shift from leading AI companies. OpenAI, partnering with 19 private equity firms in a $4 billion investment, formed a Deployment Company and acquired Tomoro along with its 150 FDEs. Anthropic also announced a $1.5 billion joint venture with financial institutions like Blackstone. The article, based on interviews with industry experts Jove (FDE lead at Cresta) and Oliver (VP at Invisible Technologies, ex-McKinsey), explores the FDE role and the rise of deployment-focused companies. Key insights include: **The FDE Role:** Jove describes an FDE as a "Forward Deployed CTO"—a technically strong engineer who works intimately with clients to implement AI solutions, learn from the process, and feed those insights back to improve the core product. They require expertise in AI agents, client-facing experience, resilience, and the ability to handle complex, imperfect systems. While AI tools enhance their efficiency, the role's complexity makes full automation a distant prospect. **Industry Shift:** Model companies are moving beyond selling tools to ensuring real-world adoption. This blurs the line between model and application companies. Collaborations with private equity (PE) firms are key, providing access to large portfolios of traditional businesses needing AI transformation. For PE firms, these partnerships offer signal value to LPs, create tangible value in portfolio companies, and provide exposure to high-growth AI assets. **Consulting & Transformation:** AI deployment involves deep, customized workflow redesign, moving beyond simple tool augmentation. Companies like Invisible Technologies build modular platforms to create bespoke, AI-native workflows for clients. While traditional consulting will see growth in helping businesses rethink their models for AI, the real value is captured by firms that leave behind transformed, operational systems. Critical success factors include building robust data foundations and strategically deciding which workflow steps should be deterministic versus AI-driven. The ultimate goal shifts from pure cost-cutting to unlocking new revenue opportunities previously impossible without AI-scale capabilities.

Bullbit Launches $BUBI, Building Toward a Comprehensive Ecosystem

Bullbit, a decentralized perpetual futures exchange (Perp DEX), has officially launched its $BUBI token on the Base L2 network, marking its Token Generation Event (TGE) and listing on BingX. With a fixed max supply of 4 billion tokens, the initial circulating supply is 300 million (7.5% of total). The largest allocation (55%) is for Ecosystem & Airdrop, rewarding early users, while team, staking, treasury, liquidity, and advisor shares are locked and vested. $BUBI provides utility including trading fee discounts, governance voting, and will serve as staking rewards and gas fees on the future BullChain. The platform, emphasizing an "invisible blockchain" for a seamless user experience without seed phrases, has seen rapid growth with over 7,000 wallets and $500M+ in trading volume since launch. The TGE represents a step toward Bullbit's broader ecosystem vision of integrating traditional assets like stocks and ETFs on-chain.

Why Is DeFi Insurance Unpopular?

The article explores the core reasons why DeFi insurance remains largely unutilized despite its potential to eliminate traditional insurance inefficiencies and malicious claim denials through automated smart contracts. Key points include: 1. **Low Adoption & Minimal Payouts:** Leading provider Nexus Mutual has paid only ~$18M in claims since 2019, dwarfed by single hack losses (e.g., Kelp DAO's $292M loss). 2. **High Correlation Risk:** Unlike traditional insurance (e.g., house fires), DeFi risks (oracle failures, bridge hacks) are systemic and can simultaneously impact multiple protocols, threatening to drain entire insurance pools. 3. **Prohibitive Cost vs. Reward:** For many protocols (Aave, Morpho, Compound), insurance premiums (1.5%-6%) consume a significant portion or even all of the native yield (3%-4%), leaving investors with meager returns. In some cases (Maple Finance, Ethena), premiums can even result in net-negative yields. 4. **Inadequate Capacity:** The total DeFi insurance pool (e.g., Nexus Mutual's $81.56M) is minuscule compared to the hundreds of billions in total value locked (TVL), creating a massive supply-demand gap. 5. **Structural Flaws:** The claims assessment model (e.g., Nexus Mutual's member voting) creates a conflict of interest, as voters bear the loss if a claim is paid. There is also no regulatory mandate forcing DeFi protocols to obtain insurance. The industry is adapting by focusing on preventative measures (e.g., bug bounty coverage) and seeking external capital via reinsurance. However, the fundamental issues of small pool size, correlated risk, and misaligned economic incentives persist. The article concludes that DeFi insurance, like a public lighthouse, provides shared security benefits, but if everyone relies on others to pay for it, no one will, leaving the ecosystem vulnerable.

WSJ: Fake Websites, Fake Trades, Real Promotion: Polymarket's Traffic Scam

The Wall Street Journal investigation reveals that prediction market platform Polymarket hired dozens of creators, primarily students, to produce and disseminate deceptive promotional content on social media. These creators used fake, near-identical clone websites (like "poiymarket.com") to simulate placing bets and winning large sums—totaling $1.9 million in fake wagers and nearly $900,000 in fake winnings across over 1,100 analyzed videos—without disclosing their paid partnership with Polymarket, as required by federal advertising regulations. The videos, often promoting unrealistic "free money" claims, were amplified by a coordinated "army" of social media accounts managed by a marketing contractor to target U.S. users, despite Polymarket's crypto platform being barred from serving the U.S. since a 2022 settlement. Polymarket stated it is committed to fair and transparent markets and plans a comprehensive audit of its promotional content. The article also notes internal discussions about potentially overturning the 2022 settlement to reintroduce its crypto platform in the U.S.

Ethlabs Founded, Treasury Companies to Fund Ethereum Post-EF

Former Ethereum Foundation (EF) core researchers Ansgar Dietrichs, Barnabé Monnot, Caspar Schwarz-Schilling, Josh Rudolf, and Julian Ma announced the launch of Ethlabs, an independent non-profit R&D lab focused on Ethereum core protocol research and institutional-grade infrastructure. The initiative, backed by over 50 community participants including ETH treasury companies BitMine and Sharplink, Joseph Lubin, Hayden Adams, and Jesse Pollak, aims to make Ethereum the global economic settlement layer. This move comes amidst significant pressure on the EF, which has seen key departures and a strategic narrowing of its focus. A critical funding gap of approximately $30 million annually for core client development, following the expiration of the client incentive program, poses a near-term risk to the network's development. The context includes the evolution of ETH's value narrative. While mechanisms like EIP-1559 and the Merge previously supported the "ultrasound money" thesis, the success of L2 scaling via EIP-4844 has drastically reduced L1 fee revenue, leading to net ETH issuance and challenging that narrative. Ethlabs has listed ETH monetary economics as a primary research focus. Backing from corporate ETH treasuries like BitMine and Sharplink represents a strategic alignment, as these entities' asset values are directly tied to Ethereum's health and adoption. Their support is an investment rather than a pure donation. Ethereum's governance is shifting from a centralized EF model to a distributed network of specialized "manager nodes," including Ethlabs and a streamlined EF. While this promotes efficiency and reduces single-point failure risk, it introduces new challenges in coordination, priority alignment, and filling critical funding gaps across the decentralized ecosystem.
