Convicted FTX executive Ryan Salame is officially in prison custody

October 12, 2024 Coin Telegraph

During a recent appearance on Tucker Carlson's podcast, Salame claimed federal prosecutors unfairly targeted him for political reasons.

Convicted, former FTX executive Ryan Salame submitted himself to prison custody on October 11, 2024, at FCI Cumberland, according to Bureau of Prison records viewed by Cointelegraph.

Salame was sentenced to 90 months in prison for his role in the 2022 FTX collapse after pleading guilty to operating an unregulated money-transmitting business and campaign finance charges in 2023.

The former FTX executive attempted to delay his October 11 surrender date until December 7, 2024 — citing ongoing medical treatment for a dog bite — a motion strongly opposed by prosecutors and denied by Judge Lewis Kaplan in an October 10 ruling.

The former FTX executive claimed the need for “continuing medical treatment” after being bitten by a dog in June.

Former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame, scheduled to report to a federal correctional institution for a seven-and-a-half-year sentence, asked a judge to delay his self-surrender date by roughly two months.

In an Oct. 9 filing in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Salame’s lawyers requested he be allowed to serve his sentence starting on Dec. 7 rather than Oct. 11. Judge Lewis Kaplan granted a continuance in July after Salame reported being “mauled” by a German Shepherd on June 29.

The medical information related to Salame’s request to push back his self-surrender date was redacted but included a statement from a Virginia physician. According to the filing, the former FTX executive required “continuing medical treatment” before reporting to prison.

US prosecutors allegedly link ex-FTX exec to Chinese bribery scandal

September 5, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

Notes from a 2023 conference call between Assistant US Attorneys revealed allegations against Ryan Salame tied to Alameda Research’s bribery scheme in China.

United States prosecutors in the case against Ryan Salame have allegedly linked the former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO to the names of Thai prostitutes as part of efforts to unfreeze accounts tied to FTX and Alameda Research.

In a Sept. 5 filing in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, US Attorneys filed a memorandum opposing Salame’s motion to vacate his guilty plea as part of charges involving campaign finance violations. The former FTX co-CEO had already withdrawn his petition to vacate the plea on Aug. 29, but Judge Lewis Kaplan said both parties would appear on Sept. 12 to address the matter at a hearing.

The prosecutors’ motion did not mince words, calling Salame’s petition “shameless and self-serving” and “procedurally defective and factually and legally meritless.” He initially filed the petition after authorities suggested they would pursue an investigation into his partner, Michelle Bond.

Despite withdrawing a petition to void his guilty plea, Ryan Salame must appear in a New York courtroom on Sept. 12 as scheduled.

A federal judge has ordered former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame to appear for a hearing despite withdrawing a request to vacate a guilty plea.

In an Aug. 29 filing in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Lewis Kaplan said Salame was required to appear in court on Sept. 12 as part of the conditions of his release on bail. He was initially scheduled to report to prison to serve a 90-month sentence starting on Aug. 29 but received a delay to Oct. 13 after reporting medical complications because of a dog bite.

On Aug. 21, the former FTX executive’s legal team filed a petition to have the court vacate his guilty plea, alleging authorities agreed not to pursue an investigation into his partner, Michelle Bond. However, after prosecutors unsealed an indictment for campaign finance law violations against Bond on Aug. 22, Salame withdrew his petition and said a ruling on the matter could be made in her case.

Ex-FTX exec scraps vacating guilty plea, refers matter to partner’s case

August 29, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

Former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame pleaded guilty to two felony charges in September 2023 and was sentenced to 90 months in prison in May 2024.

Ryan Salame, the former co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, has withdrawn a petition to vacate his guilty plea for violations of campaign finance and money-transmitting laws.

In an Aug. 29 filing in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Salame’s legal team told the court his longtime partner, Michelle Bond — also facing criminal charges — “may raise the matter” of his guilty plea in her case. Prosecutors unsealed an indictment against Bond on Aug. 22, alleging violations of campaign finance law related to her 2022 congressional campaign.

“To be clear, Mr. Salame stands by the facts set forth in the Petition and his accompanying declaration,” said the filing. “Mr. Salame is withdrawing the Petition, however, to allow the facts to be developed by Ms. Bond, and a ruling to be made, in her case [...] it makes sense to adjudicate the issues raised in the Petition in the docket in which the indictment is pending.”
