Caroline Ellison, Former FTX Executive, Faces Sentencing in Crypto Fraud Case

Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research and key witness in the FTX trial, is set to be sentenced today for her role in the $11 billion cryptocurrency fraud that led to the collapse of FTX. Prosecutors have urged the court to impose leniency, citing Ellison's cooperation during the investigation into FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. There is speculation that she may avoid prison time, with Polymarket traders predicting a 45% chance she will serve no jail sentence. Ellison, who has also gained attention for her recent foray into romance novels, asks for leniency as she learns her fate in a case that has captured widespread media interest.
