Manifund, a registered 501(c)(3) charity, hired a former Alameda Research chief executive. The appointment places the individual who helped run the trading firm behind the FTX collapse into a nonprofit role. The founder of Manifund confirmed the hiring, stating that the decision was made behind closed doors.

Ababnews reported the 501(c)(3) status and the new hire, while Bloomingbit highlighted Ellison’s former position at Alameda Research. Cryptopolitan framed the move as a test of the crypto sector’s redemption culture after the FTX fallout. Business Insider quoted the charity founder, who said he had secretly offered the job to Ellison without prior announcement.

The secrecy of the appointment adds a layer of public scrutiny, as coverage notes the hiring tests how the industry rehabilitates figures tied to major fraud. No further details on Ellison’s responsibilities or compensation were provided, leaving observers to watch how Manifund integrates her and whether additional disclosures will follow and how donors respond.
