Caroline Ellison gets 2 years in prison over her role in FTX fraud
NEW YORK (AP) — Caroline Ellison, a former top executive in Sam Bankman-Fried ’s fallen FTX cryptocurrency empire, was sentenced to two years in prison on Tuesday after she apologized to everyone hurt by a fraud that stole billions of dollars from investors, lenders and customers.
Ellison, 29, could have faced a much tougher sentence, but both the judge and prosecutors said she deserved credit for talking extensively with federal investigators, pleading guilty and ultimately testifying against Bankman-Fried for three days at his trial last November.
U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan said Ellison’s cooperation was “very, very substantial” and “remarkable.”
But he said a prison sentence was necessary because she had participated in what might be the “greatest financial fraud ever perpetrated in this country and probably anywhere else” or at least close to it.
Ellison was ordered to report to prison Nov. 7. …

Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY) provided part time jobs in his congressional office to both his fiancée’s daughter and his mistress, a New York Times report reveals.
The arrangement is a possible violation of House ethics rules crafted to combat corruption in the notoriously shady world of congressional staffing.
The Times reports:
Shortly after taking the oath of office, the first-term congressman hired his longtime fiancée’s daughter to work as a special assistant in his district office, eventually bumping her salary to about $3,800 a month, payroll records show.
In April, Mr. D’Esposito added someone even closer to him to his payroll: a woman with whom he was having an affair, according to four people familiar with the relationship. The woman, Devin Faas, collected $2,000 a month for a part-time job in the same district office.

Trump Campaign Statement on the Ongoing Threats from the Iran Terror Regime
"President Trump was briefed earlier today by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence regarding real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States.
"Intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months, and law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure President Trump is protected and the election is free from interference.
"Make no mistake, the terror regime in Iran loves the weakness of Kamala Harris, and is terrified of the strength and resolve of President Trump. He will let nothing stop him or get in his way to fight for the American people and to Make America Great Again." - Steven Cheung, Trump Campaign Communications Director

Open Borders Have Tragic Consequences — And Blood Is On Kamala’s Hands
No eleventh hour visit by Kamala Harris to the southern border this week — her first in 1,187 days and the clearest indication yet of her humiliating desperation — can mask the unbearable devastation she has unleashed on innocent Americans.
It's a con job. Kamala opened the door to tens of millions of unvetted illegals from the worst parts of the world and imported violent criminals, terrorists, and gang members who have stolen Americans' jobs, housing, and sense of security.
Over just the past two weeks alone:
• Grand Rapids, Michigan: A Mexican national — who was deported during the Trump administration, then returned under Kamala — pled guilty to brutally murdering his girlfriend and dumping her body along a highway.
• Dormont, Pennsylvania: An illegal alien — who illegally crossed back into the country after being previously deported — was arrested in a fatal hit-and-run that claimed the life of a 23-year-old man.
• Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin: An illegal alien and member of the brutal Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang was arrested on multiple charges of sexual abuse, child abuse, and disorderly conduct.
• Rome, Georgia: An illegal alien from Mexico — who had previously been deported at least four times over the past decade — was arrested in a head-on drunk driving crash that critically injured a one-year-old child and killed both parents.
• St. Louis, Missouri: An illegal alien — who already had a lengthy criminal record — was arrested in a drunk driving crash that killed St. Louis Metropolitan Police Officer David Lee, an 18-year department veteran who leaves behind a wife and two kids.
• Boston, Massachusetts: An illegal alien from Haiti — who was released into the country by the Harris-Biden administration in 2022 — was arrested for sexually assaulting a woman.
• San Antonio, Texas: An illegal alien — released into the country by the Harris-Biden administration in 2022 — was arrested in connection to gang-related weapons trafficking.
• Rochester, New York: An illegal alien — wanted for murder in the Dominican Republic — was charged in a horrific quadruple murder, including two kids, after he started their house on fire.
• Little Rock, Arkansas: An illegal alien from Honduras, who was deported under President Trump, then recently re-entered the country, was arrested in a fatal drunk driving crash that killed a 48-year-old infant respiratory therapist.
• Joplin, Missouri: Two Honduran illegal alien brothers robbed a man, shot him in the head, and stole his car to buy drugs across state lines — as the pair was on the run for committing a series of other heinous crimes.
• Nantucket, Massachusetts: An illegal alien from El Salvador — previously released on bail in sanctuary city Boston — was arrested for 11 sex crimes, including rape, indecent assault, and battery on a child under 14-years-old.
Things will be so much worse if Kamala is elected in November. She coddles illegals by backing an end to deportations, mass amnesty, sanctuary cities, abolishing ICE, decriminalizing illegal border crossings, free health care for illegals, and so much more.
President Trump, meanwhile, will carry out the largest deportation operation in American history as he seeks to rid the country of the violent criminals, gang members, and terrorists who have flooded in.
Kamala won't be able to escape accountability for the disaster she's created — we won't let her.
