FTX-Linked Caroline Ellison Set for January 2026 Federal Prison Release as SEC Reaches Alameda Research Settlement

According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records reported by COINOTAG News on December 26, Caroline Ellison, the former Co-CEO of Alameda Research, is slated for release from federal prison on January 21, 2026. She was moved from a Connecticut facility to home confinement in October, underscoring ongoing adjustments in the high-profile case surrounding Alameda and its leadership.

On December 20, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued a litigation notice stating that Sam Bankman-Fried, the former head of FTX Trading, remains incarcerated on fraud charges. A settlement has been signed by Ellison and other executives formerly connected to SBF’s operations, including Zixiao Wang and Nishad Singh, though final court approval is still pending.
