Deep Tide TechFlow News, December 26 — According to The Block, records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons show that Alameda Research’s former Co-CEO Caroline Ellison will be released from federal custody on January 21, 2026.
The 31-year-old Ellison has been transferred from a federal prison in Connecticut to a community confinement facility since October 2025. She pleaded guilty in December 2022, admitting to fraud and conspiracy charges related to the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which resulted in billions of dollars in customer losses.
Ellison was sentenced in September 2024 to two years in prison and the forfeiture of $1.1 billion, but due to good behavior during the investigation of the FTX case and cooperation, she will be released approximately 10 months earlier than her original sentence. Earlier this month, she also agreed to a 10-year ban from serving as an executive officer of a publicly traded company or a cryptocurrency exchange.
Meanwhile, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is actively seeking a presidential pardon in the United States and is expected to be released in September 2044.
