The mastermind behind the theft, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, received the longest sentence of 25 years in prison. Ryan Salame, the CEO of FTX Digital Markets, was sentenced to seven and a half years for misusing customer funds for political donations. Caroline Ellison, the co-CEO of Alameda Research, received a two-year sentence due to her cooperation with prosecutors.
