Forbes has out a very, very long piece on Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison, who is mixed up in the collapse of cryptocurrency firm FTX, run by Sam Bankman-Fried. From thousands of words, Forbes decided to feature in its tweet that Ellison has become “a new darling of the alt-right.”
Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison is a math whiz who loves Harry Potter and taking big risks. She is also one of the supporting players in Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX catastrophe — and a new darling of the alt-right.

That seemed all sorts of wrong, so we skimmed the piece looking for the alt-right adoration and the best we could find was this:
In recent days, Ellison has faced a barrage of particularly nasty criticism from crypto boosters who blame her for overseeing the downfall of Alameda. But amid the vitriol she has found some defenders in an unlikely group of people who have celebrated the musings about race science and imperialism on a blog she allegedly wrote in college. Some of her defenders, who call her “Queen Caroline,” are followers of Curtis Yarvin, a neoreactionary political theorist and far-right darling.
So she has defenders who celebrate the blog she allegedly wrote in college? That makes her a darling of the alt-right?

Forbes is trying to say that Caroline Ellison is the "new darling of the alt-right" when they were literally the democrats second-largest donor. Such a trash publication.

Did Caroline Ellison become "alt-right" before or after you included her in your "30 Under 30" list last year? https://t.co/0wRTiVeDpO pic.twitter.com/bNPyBFJLcG

Calling Caroline Ellison "a new darling of the alt-right" is the tell here. By the time this is over, MSM will decide that SBF was a Peter Thiel mole who donated to the DNC just to get on the inside. https://t.co/gUIwhlaU2o

“Darling of the alt-right” must be the “mostly peaceful protest” equivalent for covering the tracks of Democrat donors

This false puff piece states she is the "new darling of the alt-right" while they donated $38m to democrats midterm elections with 99.6% of donations going to progressive candidates

There's just no excuse for this.
…by far the most extreme journalistic malpractice from the entire FTX fallout saga.

Darling? Stealing 10 billion dollars of other peoples money to live a luxury life you didn’t earn makes you a darling?

Use of alt-right is a signalling thought-stopper for boomer Forbes readers so they understand "thing bad"
— azimuth (@azidynamics) November 18, 2022
This is all narrative control by legacy media to distract from the fact that SBF/FTX was basically the finance division of the Democratic Party.

Just out of curiosity, on what basis is Ellison the "new darling" of this "alt-right" you speak of. Skimmed the article, missed the alleged connection to the right.
