Judge Lewis Kaplan cited prosecutors’ opposition, which noted that Ryan Salame appeared “physically recovered and entirely unimpaired” during a recent Tucker Carlson interview.
After several legal attempts to delay reporting to prison for a seven-and-a-half-year sentence, former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame will likely be behind bars by the end of the day on Oct. 11.
In an Oct. 10 filing in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Salame’s request to begin serving his sentence on Dec. 7 rather than in October.
The former FTX executive claimed there were medical reasons for him to remain a free man for two additional months, but Judge Kaplan cited previous attempts at delays and Salame’s recent behavior.
