Besides Ellison, Nishad Singh and Gary Wang, two other former FTX executives who cooperated with prosecutors, are awaiting sentencing in October and November, respectively.

Ellison’s testimony was crucial in the conviction of Sam Bankman-Fried, as she provided detailed accounts of how he directed her and others to misappropriate FTX customer funds.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan acknowledged that Ellison was “gravely culpable” in the fraud but also recognized her “remarkable cooperation,” which distinguished her from Bankman-Fried.

Ellison was sentenced for her role in a massive financial fraud, which involved the misappropriation of $8 billion in customer funds from FTX, the cryptocurrency exchange founded by Sam Bankman-Fried.
