FTX's Ryan Salame Begins Prison Term After Failed Delay Attempts

The former crypto executive updates his LinkedIn with a tongue-in-cheek announcement as he reports to serve a 7.5-year sentence.

Ryan Salame, former co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, was sentenced to 7.5 years in prison for campaign finance violations and operating an unlicensed money transmitter business.
Salame's attempt to delay his prison term citing a dog bite was rejected after a judge questioned the credibility of his claims.
A recent interview with Tucker Carlson, showing Salame in good health, contributed to the judge's decision to deny further postponement.
Salame's LinkedIn post announcing his new 'position' as an inmate went viral, sparking humorous reactions across social media.
Prosecutors have also charged Salame's partner, Michelle Bond, with campaign finance violations, complicating his legal situation.
