Caroline Ellison, former co-CEO of Alameda Research and key figure in the FTX collapse, was released after serving 60% of her two-year prison sentence. The SEC has banned her from holding executive roles in any public company for 10 years due to her role in misleading investors and contributing to the loss of $8 billion in customer funds. Ellison’s early release contrasts sharply with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s ongoing 25-year incarceration.
