Can't stop dog bites? Former FTX executive Ryan Salame begins serving his sentence, plans to teach digital assets in prison!
FTX storm stirs up waves again! Ryan Salame, once co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, has now begun his seven-and-a-half-year sentence in FCI Cumberland Prison in Maryland. Interestingly, at the last minute, he wanted to use the excuse of "dog bite" to delay his imprisonment, but the judge directly "slapped" him in the face, believing that he was "basically recovered." Even more ironically, the judge also mentioned that Salame looked "in great shape" in an interview with Tucker Carlson, which shows that his injuries are no longer a big deal.
The former crypto executive was not willing to keep a low profile, and posted a slightly sarcastic post on social media, teasing that he was about to take up a "new position as a prisoner in FCI Cumberland Prison." It can be said that this figure who was once so popular in the crypto circle will now spend the next seven years behind bars.
Salame was jailed for his admission of conspiracy to commit illegal political donations and unlicensed money transmission business, and he has close ties with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who has been sentenced to 25 years for criminal fraud.
And what about the dog bite story? He first pushed his jail time from August to October, saying that he was bitten on the face by a dog in the summer. Now he wants to delay his sentence to December, but this time the judge bluntly refused and teased that he looked "unscathed" when he participated in media interviews.
What's more interesting is that this "digital currency tycoon" plans to open a course on digital assets and economics in prison. It seems that even if he is behind bars, he has no intention of saying goodbye to the crypto world completely.
