ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, former FTX executive Ryan Salame was convicted of violating US election laws for donating millions of dollars in the last congressional election. He tried to postpone his sentence at the last minute to treat his face bitten by a dog, but was rejected. Salame, who criticized the prosecution against him on social media, was supposed to start serving more than seven years in prison on August 29, but he told the court that he was bitten by a large German shepherd, causing his sentence to be postponed to October 11. Earlier this week, he requested an extension again. But during his interview with Tucker Carlson, there was no obvious sign that he was hindered by the wound - a fact that was noted by Lewis Kaplan, a judge in the Southern District of New York, when the court rejected Salame's efforts.

Salame claimed that he needed "urgent and necessary medical treatment and surgery" but could not be jailed immediately, and prosecutors responded that he appeared to be in good condition. Prosecutors said that when he appeared in court last month, he answered questions with "no signs of drooling or slurred speech" and then was interviewed by Carlson, during which Salame "appeared to have recovered and was completely unharmed." The judge pointed out that Salame has "benefited from an extremely generous deferral of his prison term" and the court expressed doubts about the "truthfulness" of Salame's allegations.
