Caroline Ellison asks to seal supporters’ info at Sept. 24 sentencing
A filing in federal court suggested that the former Alameda Research CEO had a sentencing hearing scheduled for Sept. 24 — the first in the FTX case since Ryan Salame’s in May.
A court filing from former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison’s attorney seeks to redact the names and personal information of parties writing letters of support for her sentencing hearing, scheduled for Sept. 24.
In a Sept. 9 filing in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, WilmerHale partner Anjan Sahni — representing Ellison — filed a motion requesting that the court redact personally identifying information from the former Alameda CEO’s supporters. According to the filing, the letters could contain information about Ellison’s current living situation “that could put her at risk of continued harassment” if made public.
Since her testimony at the criminal trial of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried in October 2023, Ellison has rarely, if ever, been seen in public or required to appear in person in court to address matters related to her case. She pleaded guilty to fraud charges in 2022 after FTX collapsed and had been awaiting sentencing — the Sept. 9 filing appeared to be the first public reference to Ellison’s hearing.
