SBF's Fraud Trial Reveals Awkward Start to Relationship with Top Lieutenant

Sam Bankman-Fried told Caroline Ellison "In a lot of ways I don't really have a soul" in a 2018 note listing pros/cons of dating him.

SBF said he was uncomfortable with their power dynamics, would rather spend 60 hours in the office than time with her.

The pros were that he "really liked f*cking" her, which he wrote twice.

Ellison pursued the relationship anyway despite SBF sending "confusing signals."

New details provide more insight into SBF's thinking as his fraud trial begins.
