Former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison Could Be Free by January 2026 as FTX Case Enters Final Phase
Former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison is on track for early release by January 21, 2026, after serving about 14 months.Summary
Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research and a key cooperating witness against Sam Bankman-Fried, is nearing the end of her two-year prison sentence following her guilty plea to fraud charges. Federal records now indicate her expected release date has been moved up to January 21, 2026, meaning she will have served approximately 14 months in custody, including time spent in community confinement since her October 2025 transfer to an RRM program. This acceleration is likely due to accumulated good behavior credits and participation in reduction programs under federal law. Upon release, Ellison will begin a three-year period of supervised release and is barred for ten years from serving as an officer or director of any public company or crypto exchange due to a settlement with the SEC.
