Speaking in the Of Interest podcast, San Francisco-based Bloomberg crypto, venture capital and startups reporter Hannah Miller, says if you wanted to make a technology company founder as a science experiment, it would be Bankman-Fried. Miller hosts, writes and reports on a six-part podcast from Bloomberg and Wondery called Spellcaster: The Fall of Sam Bankman-Fried. Then in 2019 FTX was founded and questions emerged over whether it and Alameda Research were really the separate companies Bankman-Fried claimed they were. Miller talks about encountering Caroline Ellison, Alameda Research's co-CEO, who had been in a romantic relationship with Bankman-Fried at a mutual friend's bachelorette weekend. *You can find all episodes of the Of Interest podcast here.
