Lawyers for former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/former-ftx-executive-ryan-salame-sentenced-90-months-prison" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ryan Salame</a> have requested a 45-day postponement of his prison reporting date due to medical complications from a dog bite.
On July 26, Salame’s legal team filed a request in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, asking to delay his self-surrender from August 29 to October 13.
The request stated this extension was necessary for Salame to undergo “urgent and necessary medical treatment and surgery.” Salame is set to serve a 7.5-year sentence after pleading guilty to conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business and engaging in campaign finance fraud.
The incident occurred on June 29 when Salame was reportedly “mauled” by a German Shepherd at a friend’s home.
The filing, which included some redacted portions, noted a physician’s visit on July 3 and treatment recommendations made on July 24, following the injury.

On the day of the attack, Salame posted on X, suggesting that a surgeon might intentionally harm him during treatment due to differing political views.
Despite his injuries, he indicated he was still monitoring the Bitcoin 2024 conference and preparing for future “big interviews.”
Salame is among the first associates of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried to receive a prison sentence and was notably absent from testifying at Bankman-Fried’s trial.
In March, Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison after being convicted on seven felony charges. He has since filed a notice of appeal.
FTX co-founder Gary Wang and former FTX engineering director Nishad Singh have also pleaded guilty to related charges and are expected to be sentenced in October and November, respectively.
A sentencing date for former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison was not available at the time of this report.
