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.
