Former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison is scheduled to be released from federal detention on January 21, 2026. Caroline Ellison was previously sentenced to two years in prison for her involvement in the FTX collapse and was ordered to forfeit $11 billion. Reports indicate that her early release (approximately 10 months ahead of the original sentence) may be attributed to good behavior in prison and her key assistance in the FTX investigation. Additionally, Ellison has agreed to a 10-year ban after her release, during which she will not serve as an executive or director of any publicly listed company or cryptocurrency exchange, and will continue to be under supervised release.
