New York CNN —A year ago, Caroline Ellison was preparing to testify against her former boss and ex-boyfriend in one of the biggest fraud trials in US history. Ellison, who ran Alameda, pleaded guilty to seven federal counts of fraud and conspiracy shortly after FTX’s collapse. A jury last year convicted former crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried on multiple counts of federal fraud and conspiracy. Over three days on the stand, Ellison, who is 29, repeatedly reinforced that throughout her years at Alameda, the buck stopped with Bankman-Fried. While sentencing is entirely up to Judge Kaplan’s discretion, legal experts say it’s highly unlikely Ellison will end up in prison.

Read previewOn Tuesday, a judge will decide what sentence to give Caroline Ellison, who pleaded guilty to conspiring with Sam Bankman-Fried in an $11 billion fraud scheme. Ellison's sentencing sets up a high-stakes balancing test. She still participated in a massive fraud scheme, after all, the value of which he put at $11 billion. Ellison was the SBF trial's star witnessEllison pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering for her role in the FTX scandal. Because the Bankman-Fried case went to trial, Kaplan has a lot of information at his disposal when deciding Ellison's sentence.

Though the judge spoke favorably about Ellison, he said that he could not let her off scot-free. "Her physical appearance has been the subject of internet fascination and scrutiny," her lawyer, Anjan Sahni, told the judge at the Tuesday sentencing hearing. Advertisement"She had a crush on him from the beginning," Sahni told the judge in the sentencing hearing. Related stories"I found myself drifting away," Ellison told the judge in her own remarks Tuesday. "Numerous films and TV shows are in production about the downfall of FTX, which will only perpetuate the public scrutiny Ellison has faced to date," prosecutors wrote in a filing ahead of the sentencing hearing.

Defense lawyers also had requested a no-prison sentence for Ellison, who had run Alameda Research , a hedge fund connected to FTX. Kaplan allowed Ellison to remain free on bail until she surrenders to prison either on or after Nov. 7. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison in March and also was ordered to pay $11 billion in forfeiture by Kaplan. On Tuesday, before sentencing Ellison, Kaplan contrasted her conduct after she was charged with that of Bankman-Fried. Both Bankman-Fried and Ellison had faced the same statutory maximum sentence of about 110 years in prison for their crimes.

It's a luggage maker best known for one product, a grooved aluminum suitcase with a rabid fan base. Despite this, the suitcase company (along with cashmere maker Loro Piana) continued their "excellent momentum," LVMH said. It's "another step in the fashion space," Bonnet-Masimbert said, and a hint of how the company hopes to progress in the coming years. For a company so synonymous with luggage, it was an "interesting challenge," the CEO said — one that took three years to develop. "We feel we are very legitimate in that space, and that opens a lot of future product offerings," Bonnet-Masimbert said.

The news from Bloomberg that billionaire Point72 founder and legendary stockpicker Steve Cohen will no longer trade his book for the $35 billion fund Tuesday is paradoxically both shocking and expected. Of the big multi-strategy managers, the fact Cohen was still managing a book set him apart from his main competitors. Will there be another Steve Cohen? Cohen launched SAC with $20 million in 1992; new funds today need exponentially more to justify leaving seats at funds like Point72. Fictional hedge fund manager Bobby Axelrod, played by Damian Lewis, was loosely based on Steve Cohen.

“There’s huge investments going into (AI) in the Middle East,” said Stephen Anderson, Middle East strategy and markets leader at PwC, speaking to CNN at last week’s Global AI Summit (GAIN) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Energy demand from AI, data centers and cryptocurrencies could double by 2026, according to the International Energy Agency. Gulf states are investing heavily in AI as they look to diversify their economies. Last year, the UAE unveiled a tool called Jais and Saudi Arabia has developed the Arabic chatbot ALLaM. Challenge of governanceOne of the major hurdles with the development of AI is public perception and governance: how should AI and data be regulated safely, securely, ethically and fairly?
