Caroline Ellison was sentenced to 24 months in prison by a federal judge for her role in the FTX collapse, despite helping prosecutors in the conviction of Sam Bankman-Fried, her former boss and boyfriend.

But Kaplan noted that the case was one of the “most serious” financial frauds ever committed and that her cooperation can’t be a “get out of jail free card.”
The 11 Billion is just for show.
