Former FTX executive Ryan Salame has begun serving a 7.5-year prison sentence at FCI Cumberland, Maryland. Salame pleaded guilty in September to conspiracy charges related to illegal political donations and operating an unlicensed money transfer business tied to FTX’s collapse. Unlike other FTX figures, he did not cooperate with authorities, choosing to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights. His high-profile role as a Republican donor brought extra scrutiny to his case. #FTX #RyanSalame #CryptoScandal #SamBankmanFried #PoliticalDonations
