TREE NEWS update: The US CFTC has ordered FTX co-founders Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang to be banned from trading for five years. No restitution or civil monetary penalties were sought against them.
CFTC Bans FTX Co-Founders Ellison and Wang for 5 Years
AI take
The notable detail here is what the CFTC did not pursue: no restitution and no civil penalty, which reads as a regulator treating the two as cooperators rather than targets. That reinforces the pattern of enforcement resources being pointed at those who directed the fraud rather than those who testified against it. Whether that cooperation credit shapes how other agencies, including the criminal side, treat Ellison and Wang is the open question worth watching.
