Key points:
Caroline Ellison, the former Alameda co-CEO and ex-girlfriend of Sam Bankman-Fried is set to face sentencing on September 24 in connection with the FTX fraud case. After pleading guilty to multiple charges, including wire fraud and money laundering, Ellison has cooperated with prosecutors, which could result in a lighter sentence.
The charges carry a potential 110-year prison sentence, but her assistance in the case is expected to benefit her greatly. Ellison’s cooperation follows similar actions by former FTX executives Gary Wang and Nishad Singh, who are scheduled to be sentenced later this year. Bankman-Fried, who was sentenced to nearly 25 years in prison, was ordered to repay as much as $11 billion in losses.

The FTX fraud has intensely scrutinized Caroline Ellison and other former executives. As Ellison’s sentencing approaches, her legal team has requested that her personal information be redacted to protect her from further harassment. The case has been widely reported, with media outlets focusing on Ellison’s relationship with Sam Bankman-Fried and her role at Alameda.
Ellison’s defense is working to ensure that her cooperation with prosecutors, along with concerns about her safety, are taken into account during sentencing. As one of the key figures in the FTX collapse, her case highlights the broader legal and regulatory challenges facing the cryptocurrency industry.
