FTX Case: Caroline Ellison Transferred from Danbury Prison to Residential Reentry Facility; Parole Date Set for February 20, 2026

According to a December 17 briefing from COINOTAG News citing a Business Insider report, Caroline Ellison, the former Alameda Research CEO and ex-partner of SBF, was moved on October 16 from the Danbury Federal Prison in Connecticut to a residential reentry facility. The relocation keeps her within the federal custody framework, with potential placement options including home confinement or a halfway house.

Ellison was sentenced to two years in prison for her involvement in the FTX case and has served roughly 11 months to date. Federal records indicate her anticipated release on parole around February 20, 2026, reflecting the ongoing stage of the sentence within the federal system.

This transfer underscores continued scrutiny of executives tied to the crypto sector, particularly as authorities calibrate the balance between deterrence and market integrity in the wake of the FTX collapse. Market observers will monitor any updates to her custody status and parole progression.
