“In a lot of ways I don’t really have a soul,” Bankman-Fried wrote in a memo to Ellison, taking an analytical approach for and against the relationship. While his"arguments against" list highlighted his self-perceived flaws and the potential PR disaster their relationship could cause, his"arguments in favor" list was succinct, emphasizing his affection for her.
That created some complications given Bankman-Fried and Ellison's relationship was more than professional, with Ellison wanting to expand the relationship and Bankman-Fried not, Lewis wrote.“There’s a pretty decent argument that my empathy is fake, my feelings are fake, my facial reactions are fake,” Bankman-Fried continued in his arguments against the relationship. “I’m worried about power dynamics between us. This could destroy Alameda if it goes really poorly PR-wise.
Ellison's desire for a more traditional relationship was evident in her memos to Bankman-Fried. However, she wasn't happy with the couple's communication on their feelings and lack of social affirmation of their relationship, believing Bankman-Fried’s arguments were masking his true motives. “I guess a lot of what bothers me is feeling like you’re ashamed of me,” she later wrote.
