Netflix is currently producing The Altruists, a television series about the collapse of FTX, with the main characters being Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) and Caroline Ellison.

Caroline Ellison had a blog, worldoptimization.tumblr.com (archived here), in which she frequently talked about her love for Alexander Wales' book series Worth the Candle and specifically mentioned the character of Amaryllis Penndraig as a role model:

mm okay so I love Amaryllis, to the point where a lot of my current personality is based on her, but also she’is frustratingly Mary-Sueish and perfect and I really wish she sucked just a bit more.

me: Amaryllis Penndraig is my greatest inspiration and primary role model

This question will resolve N/A if the show is canceled or otherwise unwatchable.

This question resolves YES if proof of a clear reference to Worth The Candle within the show is screenshotted and put in a comment under this manifold question.

This question resolves NO if, one month after the final episode's release, no such proof has been found.

Edge cases:

  • If there are multiple seasons, resolution happens after the final season's final episode

  • Similarity, e.g. "Caroline dyes her hair red halfway through the show", is not enough if it could reasonably be attributed to something else other than WTC

  • Namedropping any character from the series is enough, as is showing the name of a character, as long as it clearly refers to that character. (Shia LaBeouf excluded)

  • References to other related stories (e.g. HPMOR, Project Lawful, Worm, Metropolitan Man) do not count, but will still be appreciated as comments here if you spot them

  • If Caroline Ellison is shown reading an unknown book while serving her prison sentence, this question has a 30% chance to resolve YES anyway.
