FTX Executives Face Final SEC Charges: Caroline Ellison Banned for 10 Years

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has concluded its enforcement actions against former FTX executives aligned with Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). Caroline Ellison, the ex-CEO of Alameda Research, has agreed to a settlement that includes a permanent ban from serving as an officer or director of any public company for a decade. This marks the final chapter in the SEC's legal pursuit of SBF's inner circle, following their guilty pleas related to the massive fraud that led to the FTX crypto exchange's collapse. The resolution underscores ongoing regulatory scrutiny in the cryptocurrency sector as authorities finalize penalties against key figures in one of the industry's most significant failures.
