At her 2024 sentencing, Judge Lewis Kaplan said that he had never seen someone cooperate with prosecutors like Ellison in his 30 years on the bench. Kaplan nevertheless told the court that, given the severity of the crimes, he had decided to sentence Ellison to jail time. He ordered her to forfeit $11bn in assets.
Depends if she’s got something stashed or really did cooperate fully
My wild guess based on nothing more than my wild hunches is that she’s got at least $50 million. “I don’t know…” and “I don’t remember…” are lies that cannot will not be prosecuted. If she managed to squirrel away 0.1% - that’s $11 million. I think it’s safe to assume she hid far more than that.

Edit. I realized that - of course - sometimes judges can and do put their knee on the neck of witnesses when they want to force them to talk. But I assume that’s insanely rare in the US when it comes to white collar crime. Judges take the liars at their word.
Death penalty without reprieve is the least she and the rest of the scumbag execs deserve, but unfortunately that’s not happening currently outside of China.
Probably a mix of both but honestly I think it’s largely irrelevant. She, BankmanFried and the rest of the board/exec ghouls would be shot in a just society.

I wonder if that’s real assets or just made up crypto bullshit you can’t actually cash out
