FTX’s Caroline Ellison Transferred to Community Confinement After 11 Months
Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research and pivotal witness in the FTX case, has been moved from federal prison to community confinement. The transfer occurred quietly on October 16, 2025, with Ellison having served approximately 11 months of her two-year sentence at Danbury Federal Correctional Institution.
The Bureau of Prisons confirmed the transition to either home detention or a residential reentry center, though specific details remain undisclosed. Ellison's projected release date stands at February 20, 2026. Her cooperation in the prosecution of FTX executives marked a significant chapter in the crypto exchange's dramatic collapse.
