Former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison was released from prison in October and placed under community supervision.
Caroline Ellison, the ex-girlfriend of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and former CEO of Alameda Research, has been quietly transferred out of federal prison after serving approximately 11 months (originally sentenced to two years). A spokesperson for the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons stated that 31-year-old Ellison was transferred from the Danbury Federal Correctional Center in Connecticut to a "community detention" environment on October 16. This means that Ellison remains under federal supervision but is currently either under home detention or in a transitional rehabilitation center. Online prison records show that Ellison's expected release date is February 20, 2026, nearly nine months earlier than originally scheduled. Her lawyer declined to comment.
