According to Foresight News , U.S. prosecutors wrote to Judge Lewis Kaplan, suggesting that Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research and ex-girlfriend of SBF, be given a lighter sentence. Prosecutors said that Caroline Ellison was very cooperative in the prosecution of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and assisted in investigating the misconduct of Alameda Research and FTX. Prosecutors emphasized that although Ellison played a central role in SBF's criminal plan, she was not involved in all aspects of FTX.
Ellison's attorneys previously submitted a sentencing recommendation: advocating no additional prison time and three years of supervised release. Ellison pleaded guilty in December 2022 and testified at SBF's trial.
