Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research and ex-girlfriend of Sam Bankman-Fried, has been moved to community confinement from Danbury Federal Prison in Connecticut as of October 16. This transition may involve house arrest or a halfway house, but she remains under federal custody. Ellison was sentenced to two years in prison for her role in the $11 billion FTX fraud case and has served approximately 11 months. Prison records indicate she is expected to be released early on February 20, 2026. Ellison was a key witness in the 2023 criminal trial of Bankman-Fried, where her significant cooperation was acknowledged by the judge, yet she still received a prison sentence.
