Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research, is scheduled for release from federal custody after serving 440 days of a two-year sentence.

According to inmate records with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Ellison is expected to be released from the Residential Reentry Management field office in New York City on Wednesday, more than a year after she reported to prison in Danbury, Connecticut.

The former Alameda CEO was one of three executives linked to the defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX to serve prison time, along with former FTX CEO Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried and former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame.

After cryptocurrency exchange FTX collapsed in November 2022 amid reports of liquidity issues, Ellison, Bankman-Fried, Salame and executives Gary Wang and Nishad Singh were indicted on charges of fraud and money laundering. The Alameda CEO testified against Bankman-Fried at trial and accepted a plea deal for her cooperation, leading to a two-year sentence.

Ellison was initially scheduled to be released in February, which would still have been far short of her two-year sentence. However, many federal inmates are eligible for good-conduct credits. She was apparently also permitted to move to a reentry facility in October, serving her final months in custody in New York City.

Cointelegraph reached out to Ellison’s legal team, but a representative declined to comment.

Bankman-Fried, who was convicted on seven felony counts related to his role in the misuse of FTX user funds, was sentenced to 25 years in prison and is scheduled for release in 2044. Singh and Wang were sentenced to time served and remain free, while Salame is scheduled for release in 2030.

Bankman-Fried appealed his conviction and sentence and is awaiting results in the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit following a Nov. 4 hearing.

Ellison and other former executives are barred from assuming any leadership role at a cryptocurrency exchange or other business following a consent judgment from the US Securities and Exchange Commission. She has offered no indication that she planned to resume any position in the crypto industry.

Ellison received 10-year officer-and-director ban, while Wang and Singh got eight-year bans each.

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales offload 200 million XRP leaving market uncertainty behind. XRP faces potential collapse as whales drive major price shifts. Is XRP’s future in danger after massive sell-off by whales? XRP’s price has been under intense pressure recently as whales reportedly offloaded a staggering 200 million XRP over the past two weeks. This massive sell-off has raised alarms across the cryptocurrency community, as many wonder if the market is on the brink of collapse or just undergoing a temporary correction. According to crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts), this surge in whale activity correlates directly with the price fluctuations seen in the past few weeks. XRP experienced a sharp spike in late July and early August, but the price quickly reversed as whales began to sell their holdings in large quantities. The increased volume during this period highlights the intensity of the sell-off, leaving many traders to question the future of XRP’s value.

Can XRP Recover or Is a Bigger Decline Ahead? As the market absorbs the effects of the whale offload, technical indicators suggest that XRP may be facing a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently sitting at 53.05, signals a neutral market stance, indicating that XRP could move in either direction. This leaves traders uncertain whether the XRP will break above its current resistance levels or continue to fall as more whales sell off their holdings. Source: Tradingview Additionally, the Bollinger Bands, suggest that XRP is nearing the upper limits of its range. This often points to a potential slowdown or pullback in price, further raising concerns about the future direction of the XRP. With the price currently around $3.02, many are questioning whether XRP can regain its footing or if it will continue to decline. The Aftermath of Whale Activity: Is XRP’s Future in Danger? Despite the large sell-off, XRP is not yet showing signs of total collapse. However, the market remains fragile, and the price is likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With whales continuing to influence price movements, many investors are watching closely to see if this trend will reverse or intensify. The coming weeks will be critical for determining whether XRP can stabilize or face further declines. The combination of whale offloading and technical indicators suggest that XRP’s price is at a crossroads. Traders and investors alike are waiting for clear signals to determine if the XRP will bounce back or continue its downward trajectory.
