Caroline Ellison Freed Early: FTX Scandal Figure Quietly Leaves Prison
Former FTX and Alameda Research executive Caroline Ellison was quietly transferred out of the low-security Danbury Federal Correctional Institution in Connecticut on October 16, placing her much closer to early release than many anticipated when she began serving her sentence last year.
According to official records, her expected release date remains February 20, 2026, which is roughly nine months earlier than the end of her original sentence.
Transition to community confinement: a less restrictive phase
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) confirmed that Ellison is now completing the remainder of her sentence under community confinement, which typically includes either home detention or placement in a residential reentry center.
BOP spokesperson Randilee Giamusso stated:
“Community confinement may involve home confinement or a residential reentry center. For safety, privacy, and security reasons, we do not provide details about an individual’s transfer, confinement conditions, or specific location.”
Two-year sentence for her role in a multibillion-dollar scheme
Ellison reported to the Danbury facility in early November 2024 to begin serving a two-year prison term tied to one of the largest financial frauds in crypto history.
She had pleaded guilty to participating with Sam Bankman-Fried in an $11 billion scheme, involving the secret diversion of customer funds from the FTX exchange to Alameda Research.
During SBF’s 2023 criminal trial, she became a key witness for prosecutors, testifying that Alameda used billions in misappropriated FTX customer deposits for trading, loans, and other purposes without disclosure.
Her legal team urged the court to avoid any incarceration, but Judge Lewis Kaplan rejected the request and stressed he would not grant a “get-out-of-jail-free card.”
Before sentencing, Caroline addressed the court tearfully and apologized, saying:
“On some level, my brain doesn’t fully grasp the number of people I harmed. That doesn’t mean I don’t try to understand.”
SBF faces a much longer road
While Caroline moves toward release, Sam Bankman-Fried continues serving a 25-year federal sentence after being convicted on all seven counts of fraud and conspiracy.
He is currently held at a low-security federal prison in San Pedro, California.
SBF is appealing both his conviction and his sentence, with his lawyers arguing he deserves a new trial because prosecutors allegedly misrepresented aspects of his expected testimony.

Caroline Ellison Moves to Halfway House, Nears Early Release
A significant update in the FTX case: Caroline Ellison, the former Alameda Research CEO and star witness against Sam Bankman-Fried, has been transferred to community confinement after serving roughly 11 months in prison.
What this means:
➡️She has been moved from federal prison to either home confinement or a halfway house.
➡️Her expected release date is now Feb. 20, 2026—nearly 9 months earlier than originally scheduled.
➡️This step is standard for non-violent offenders nearing the end of their sentence and indicates good behavior.
Ellison, who received a reduced 2-year sentence for her crucial cooperation with prosecutors, continues to be under federal supervision. Her lawyer has declined to comment.
This move highlights the tangible benefits of cooperation in major fraud cases and marks another step in the ongoing aftermath of the FTX collapse.

During the recent sale #BTC short-term holders experienced the largest change in their value over 7 days since reaching a low of #FTX in 2022 at $16 thousand.
Historically, when the price of Bitcoin falls below the STH Cost Basis level, it can signal a transition from a bullish to a bearish trend, requiring either strong counter demand or a prolonged accumulation phase to restore equilibrium.
The decline that has occurred indicates that buyers who entered the market at recent peaks are facing pressure and are realizing their losses, which in turn increases the supply in the market and may take time to absorb that supply.

Is Your Money SAFE? The Only Question You Should Ask After the FTX Crisis
Hello everyone! 👋 We have made money together, but where is that money?
Since the collapse of major exchanges like FTX, a crucial question remains ignored by 99% of users: Is my money really mine if I have it in a Centralized Exchange (CEX) like Binance?
This post is crucial for your peace of mind and security.
1. What Experts Say: "Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins"
This is the golden rule: "If you don't have the private keys, they are not your coins."
If your funds are in the Binance Spot Wallet: Binance has custody (the key) of your funds. You trust that Binance will keep those keys safe and your funds separate.

FTX–Alameda Unstakes $25.5M in SOL, Sparks Short-Term Sell-Off Fears
FTX and Alameda Research have unstaked 194,861 SOL worth roughly $25.5 million, triggering renewed concerns about potential sell pressure in the short term 🧐.
Unstaking doesn’t mean an immediate sale, and Solana has historically absorbed large unlocks without major breakdowns.
SOL dipped about 1.5% following the move but remains relatively stable thanks to strong market liquidity 💡.
💭 What do you think — real sell pressure coming, or just market noise?

Here’s a clean, sharp tweet-sized take in your Dr. Nohawn market-intelligence tone 👇
🚨 U.S. Gov’t Moves FTX/Alameda Assets Again
On-chain trackers spotted 1,934 WETH + $13.58M BUSD shifted into fresh gov-controlled wallets.
Is it routine consolidation?
Or prep for another asset unwind?
With WETH liquidity thinner than usual, even a small sell event could pressure short-term pricing — especially if risk sentiment stays fragile.
Watching closely. These moves rarely happen without a motive. 👀⚖️

FTX (the bankrupt exchange) just unlocked 194,861 Solana coins worth about $25 million today. They are slowly giving the money back to people they owe from the 2022 crash.
Every month they unlock and sell a little bit.
Big investors are quickly buying whatever FTX sells, so the price of Solana isn’t crashing.
FTX took out $25M of Solana to pay back customers.
They do this every month now. Big whales eat it all, price stays chill.”

US Government Transfers $20 Million in Crypto – Another Chapter in the FTX Saga
The US government has stirred the crypto waters after blockchain trackers detected a massive $20 million transaction. These funds, seized from the now-defunct FTX exchange and its sister firm Alameda Research, highlight that the legal aftermath of one of the largest crypto scandals in history is far from over.
What Exactly Happened?
According to data from the Onchain Lens tool, a wallet associated with US authorities transferred the seized assets to a new address. The transaction involved a mix of cryptocurrencies:
🔹 $6.43 million in Wrapped Ethereum (WETH)
🔹 $13.58 million in Binance USD (BUSD)
This move confirms that US officials are actively managing digital assets obtained through FTX bankruptcy proceedings.
Why This Transfer Matters
While it may appear to be a routine blockchain movement, this transaction carries deeper implications:
🔹 Asset liquidation in progress – The government is evidently preparing to convert seized digital holdings into cash.
🔹 Transparency in action – Blockchain ensures that the public can follow every step of the process.
🔹 Victim restitution – For thousands of harmed investors, this is a tangible sign of progress toward compensation.
Managing Seized Crypto Isn’t Simple
Unlike cash, cryptocurrencies are volatile and require secure handling. Authorities typically use dedicated wallets and partner with professional digital asset custodians.
This latest transfer may signal:
🔹 Conversion to fiat (e.g., USD)
🔹 A shift in custodial strategy
🔹 Preparations for an official asset sale
What’s Next? The Road Ahead for FTX and Alameda Recovery
Under the leadership of John Ray III, FTX’s bankruptcy estate continues to aggressively recover assets. Meanwhile, the US Department of Justice and other agencies are pursuing civil and criminal investigations.
What we might see next:
🔹 More transfers to exchange addresses
🔹 Official updates on the asset distribution plan
🔹 Potential public auctions or market sales to minimize disruption
A Symbol of Justice — and a Warning
The $20 million transfer is more than just a financial transaction. It represents the growing capability of government agencies to track, seize, and manage digital assets. More importantly, it's a beacon of hope for thousands of creditors still waiting for justice.
Thanks to blockchain’s transparency, the world can watch in real time as this unprecedented regulatory case unfolds.

U.S. prosecutors propose a 12-year prison sentence for Terraform Founder Do Kwon
Sam Bankman is on vacation for 25 years, so Do Kwon at least must get half, right bro? 😁
Prosecutors said: “The collapse of the Terraform market has caused a series of widespread crises in the cryptocurrency markets and contributed to what later became known as the 'Crypto Winter'.
Losses related to the Terraform incident have surpassed losses from the collapse of #FTX of Sam Bankman-Fried, #Celsius of Alex Mashinsky, and #OneCoin combined.
