Former Alameda Research co-CEO Sam Trabucco has filed a character reference for former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame, calling for a “fair” punishment for Salame. In a May 6 statement, Trabucco acknowledged that Salame had participated in illegal activity, but he believed that Salame’s punishment should be commensurate with his character. Salame has pleaded guilty and his trial is scheduled for May 28. (The Block)
