Caroline Ellison, a former top executive in Sam Bankman-Fried’s collapsed crypto empire, was sentenced to two years in prison Tuesday — after a judge praised her “remarkable,” damning testimony against her ex-lover at his fraud trial.
The 29-year-old MIT grad held back tears and bowed her head slightly forward after Judge Lewis Kaplan revealed her fate at a hearing in Manhattan federal court.
The judge drew a distinction Tuesday between her and Bankman-Fried, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison after the judge found he did not show any remorse for his crimes.
“While you were gravely culpable in this fraud, there is no doubt that you had remarkable cooperation,” Judge Kaplan said. “That’s a fundamental distinction between you and Mr Bankman-Fried.”
