FTX’s Ryan Salame Returns to Court as Plea Deal Faces Scrutiny

Former FTX executive Ryan Salame faces court again as Judge Lewis Kaplan examines his plea deal. Salame, once a leader at Sam Bankman-Fried’s defunct cryptocurrency exchange, previously pled guilty to campaign finance and money-transmitting violations. Salame has since retracted his request to vacate the plea. The judge has mandated Salame’s attendance at Thursday’s hearing, and Salame is expected to report to prison in late October after a delay due to a leg injury.
