US EditionSBF's cohorts at FTX take last SEC hit, Ellison banned from company roles for decade
The SEC seeks officer bans of 8 to 10 years and permanent antifraud injunctions against three former FTX executives who raised $1.8 billion through false claims, subject to court approval.
- On Friday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed proposed final consent judgments in the Southern District of New York seeking officer-and-director bars against Caroline Ellison, Zixiao 'Gary' Wang, and Nishad Singh, subject to court approval.
- The SEC's complaints allege executives raised over $1.8 billion from investors through false claims and diverted customer deposits to Alameda Research for investments and loans.
- The three defendants consented to final judgments without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, accepting permanent antifraud injunctions and five-year conduct-based restrictions after cooperating in Sam Bankman-Fried's trial.
- Caroline Ellison completed approximately 11 months at Danbury Federal Correctional Institution before community confinement and was recently released, while Zixiao 'Gary' Wang and Nishad Singh received time-served sentences with supervised release.
- Chapter 11 distributions resumed, delivering between 119% and 143% to eligible creditors, while around 98% of users with claims under $50,000 received 119%. Sam Bankman-Fried remains incarcerated as his family pursues presidential clemency requests, and the SEC's enforcement filings increase crypto industry scrutiny.
