Lawyers representing former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame have requested a 45-day extension before his prison reporting date, citing medical issues from a dog attack. The legal team asked for his surrender date to be postponed from Aug. 29 to Oct. 13 for urgent medical treatment. Salame pleaded guilty to running an unlicensed money-transmitting business and campaign finance fraud. He was bitten by a German Shepherd on June 29, leading to medical visits and treatment recommendations. Despite the incident, Salame expressed concerns about receiving proper medical care due to his political views. He is linked to former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Other FTX associates have also pleaded guilty and await sentencing. The crypto community is closely following these legal developments amidst the ongoing Bitcoin 2024 conference. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
