On Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2024, Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research, was sentenced to 24 months in prison for her involvement in the FTX scandal. This sentence comes after Ellison cooperated extensively with authorities to build a case against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried.

The Sentencing Hearing

Despite praising Ellison’s cooperation, the judge still handed down a two-year prison sentence in court on September 24. Ellison is also required to forfeit any profits from the FTX situation as part of her sentencing. The judge banned cameras and recordings during the hearing.

Ellison’s Crimes

In December 2022, Ellison confessed to a litany of offenses during her cooperation with investigators. These crimes included wire fraud against lenders, commodities fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering. She admitted that FTX improperly used customer funds to cover debts incurred by Alameda Research.

Conclusion

While Ellison provided pivotal testimony that enabled charges against Bankman-Fried, her involvement in FTX’s criminal activities still warranted prison time. Her sentencing highlights the legal risks of participating in crypto schemes that misuse customer funds or otherwise break the law. The FTX saga serves as a cautionary tale for crypto executives and companies.
