Кэролайн Эллисон, экс-глава Alameda Research, освободится из заключения после почти года пребывания в тюрьме English translation: Caroline Ellison, former head of Alameda Research, to be released from custody after nearly a year in prison.

Caroline Ellison, the former head of Alameda Research, will be released from custody on January 28 after spending nearly a year behind bars.

According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, she is currently at a social reintegration center in New York. Such facilities are designated to assist inmates before their final release, helping them find employment and prepare for life outside of prison.

In October 2025, Ellison was transferred to this center from a federal prison in Connecticut. She began serving her two-year sentence there in November 2024.

Ellison led Alameda Research and was in a relationship with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. The collapse of the exchange occurred in November 2022 due to liquidity issues and misallocation of funds.

In December 2022, Ellison pleaded guilty to seven charges, including fraud and conspiracy. She struck a deal with prosecutors and testified against Bankman-Fried. In court, she confirmed that she acted under his instructions and that the trading firm had unrestricted access to FTX client funds.

Bankman-Fried himself was sentenced to 25 years in prison in March 2025, with a court order to repay $11 billion in losses. Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump ruled out the possibility of a pardon for the FTX founder.

Other executives from the platform, Gary Wang and Nishad Singh, also cooperated with authorities and avoided prison sentences. The US Securities and Exchange Commission demanded that all three, including Ellison, be barred from holding leadership positions in public companies.

It’s worth noting that in November 2025, representatives of FTX withdrew a motion to restrict payments to users from 49 countries, including Russia and Ukraine.
