Caroline Ellison's plea agreement revealed: full cooperation with the U.S. Attorney's Office may result in dismissal of criminal charges

ChainCatcher news, the plea agreement of former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has been disclosed, including a $250,000 bail, surrender of travel documents, asset forfeiture, etc., which means Caroline Ellison will not be allowed to leave the United States.

In addition, the plea agreement also reveals that if Caroline Ellison fully cooperates with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and any other law enforcement agencies designated by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, she will not face further criminal prosecution, except for criminal tax violations related to wire and commodity fraud charges (due to the commingling of funds between FTX and Alameda, she may face lawsuits from other regulatory agencies).

Earlier, ChainCatcher reported that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York announced charges against Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang, both of whom have pleaded guilty to federal charges, with Caroline Ellison admitting to conspiracy to commit wire fraud against FTX customers, conspiracy to commit wire fraud against Alameda Research lenders, conspiracy to commit commodity fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering, among seven charges, which could result in a maximum sentence of 110 years in prison.
