Ryan Salame will have an additional 45 days of freedom after his lawyers said there were medical complications due to a dog bite. A federal judge has granted a motion filed by lawyers representing former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame to delay reporting to prison until Oct. 13. In a July 30 filing by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Lewis Kaplan approved a motion allowing Salame to push his self-surrender date by 45 days as part of his sentence to 7.5 years in prison. Salame’s legal team requested the delay due to medical complications from a dog biting the former FTX executive’s face on June 29 while he was visiting a friend’s home. The July 26 motion by Salame’s legal team redacted medical information related to his injuries but claimed that a German Shepherd “mauled” him and he would require treatment and surgery before reporting to prison. He was initially going to report to prison on Aug. 29, roughly three months after being sentenced.
