According to information from BitJie based on records from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons, Caroline Ellison, the partner of Sam Bankman-Fried, is scheduled to be released from prison on January 21, 2026. This date marks a significant turning point for the FTX founder’s close associate, who played a crucial role in the prosecutions against SBF in 2023.

During the sensational trial of the FTX creator, Ellison testified as a key witness for the prosecution, providing decisive evidence against her former partner. Judicial authorities acknowledged the extent of her cooperation with the justice system, officially praising her commitment to serve as a witness. However, despite this notable collaboration, Ellison was not spared from a prison sentence, reflecting her involvement in the FTX scandals.

Ellison’s upcoming release comes after several years of legal proceedings that have shaped the regulatory landscape of cryptocurrencies. Her fate is closely linked to that of SBF, who remains incarcerated as a cooperating witness alongside other key figures in the FTX case.
