Ryan Salame was scheduled to report to prison on Aug. 29 after being sentenced to 90 months for charges related to the misuse of FTX user funds.
Lawyers representing former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame have requested a 45-day delay before his prison reporting date due to medical complications from a dog biting his face.
In a July 26 filing in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Salame’s legal team requested his self-surrender date to serve a 7.5-year sentence be moved from Aug. 29 to Oct. 13 “so that he may undergo urgent and necessary medical treatment and surgery.” The former FTX executive pleaded guilty to conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business and engaging in campaign finance fraud.
According to the filing, a German Shepherd “mauled” Salame” on June 29 while he was visiting a friend’s home. Portions of the request were redacted, but they included a physician’s visit on July 3 and recommendations for treatment on July 24 “after sustaining a dog-bite injury to the face.”
