š The news of former FTX executive Ryan Salame's imprisonment has attracted widespread attention in the cryptocurrency community
On LinkedIn, Ryan Salame announced his upcoming 7.5-year prison sentence in a very unusual way. The former co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets updated his status and announced that he would become an inmate at FCI Cumberland Prison.
He also humorously added "cleaning and wood chipping" as his new skills in his profile, and this update quickly attracted widespread attention and discussion in the community.
Community members responded to this update in various humorous ways. Someone joked: "From LinkedIn to LockedIn." Another joke mentioned the executive's transition from "blockchain to being blockchained," and someone commented that Salame "doesn't want any gaps on his resume." The former executive also expressed regret for the upcoming loss of his Wordle game winning streak, as his sentence is about to begin on October 11.
Although Ryan Salame's team tried to postpone his surrender date again, claiming that he needed to continue treatment, the judge ultimately rejected the request. The judge believed that Salame's medical needs were mainly cosmetic and not urgent, so the original surrender date was maintained.
Federal prosecutors also criticized Salame's "last-minute request", believing that there was no compelling reason to extend his extradition date again.
This series of events not only made Ryan Salame a hot topic in the community, but also allowed us to see some unusual aspects of the cryptocurrency field.
The social media updates of the former FTX executive not only affected the widespread attention of community members, but also triggered a new round of discussion on legal and ethical issues in the cryptocurrency field.
Although Salame's posts have a viral effect, the imprisonment he is about to face is serious, reminding everyone that even in the high-tech and high-risk world of cryptocurrency, the boundaries of the law cannot be crossed.
