According to Foresight News, U.S. prosecutors have written to Judge Lewis Kaplan, recommending leniency in the sentencing of Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research and ex-girlfriend of SBF. The prosecutors state that Ellison was highly cooperative in the prosecution of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, aiding the investigation into the misconduct of Alameda Research and FTX. While acknowledging Ellison's central role in SBF's criminal scheme, they emphasize that she was not involved in all aspects of FTX.

Ellison's attorneys previously submitted a sentencing recommendation, arguing for no additional imprisonment and three years of supervised release. Ellison pleaded guilty in December 2022 and testified at SBF's trial.
