Justice moves slow—but prison math doesn’t lie. Sam Bankman-Fried’s ’early release’ still means two decades behind bars, while his ex-CEO accomplice Caroline Ellison clocks out in just over a year. Pro tip for aspiring crypto fraudsters: maybe skip the ’effective altruism’ cover story next time.
Sam Bankman-Fried, former FTX CEO, sentenced to 25 years for fraud, is now expected to be released early on December 14, 2044. This is over four years ahead of schedule, thanks to good behavior, prison programs, and time served before sentencing. Meanwhile, Caroline Ellison, former Alameda CEO, is likely to be released by May 2026. Both early releases highlight how credits and detention time can reduce prison sentences.
