Former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison will be released in January next year

According to records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, former co-CEO of Alameda Research Caroline Ellison will be released from federal prison on January 21, 2026. Caroline Ellison had previously been transferred from a Connecticut prison to community confinement in October.

On December 20, the U.S. SEC issued a lawsuit notice stating that former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is still serving time in federal prison for fraud, while former executives of Alameda Research, including Caroline Ellison, have agreed to a settlement that still requires court approval. Other executives who signed the settlement agreement include former CTO of FTX Trading Zixiao Wang and former co-lead engineer of FTX Nishad Singh.
