  • Former FTX executive Ryan Salame will be sentenced on May 1st after pleading guilty to illegally disguising political donations and operating an unlicensed money transmitter.
  • As part of his plea deal, Salame agreed to pay around $6 million in penalties and forfeit two properties and a Porsche. Prosecutors have proposed probation instead of potential years in prison.
  • Salame’s sentencing comes after FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was convicted on 7 felony counts. The outcome may set a precedent for other indicted FTX executives who have pleaded guilty but not yet been sentenced.

Former FTX executive Ryan Salame will be sentenced on May 1st for his role in the fraud and collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX.

Background on FTX Fraud Charges

In November 2022, prosecutors began pursuing criminal charges against several executives implicated in FTX’s downfall, including former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried.

Salame was charged alongside Bankman-Fried, former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison, FTX co-founder Gary Wang, and FTX engineering director Nishad Singh. He pleaded guilty to making illegal political contributions and operating an unlicensed money transmitter.

Salame’s Charges and Plea Deal

Salame admitted to making $10 million in political donations disguised as loans. He also made contributions on behalf of a corporation, violating US law.

As part of his plea deal, Salame agreed to pay around $6 million in penalties and forfeit two properties and a Porsche. He currently remains free on a $1 million bond.

Sentencing and Outlook

Salame’s sentencing is set for May 1st before Judge Lewis Kaplan. While he could face years in prison, prosecutors have proposed probation instead.

Bankman-Fried will be sentenced on March 28 after being convicted on 7 felony counts. The other executives have pleaded guilty but not yet been sentenced. Salame was the only one who did not testify against Bankman-Fried.

The outcome of Salame’s sentencing will provide more insight into how prosecutors are handling the FTX case. As a former top executive, his punishment may set a precedent for the other indicted individuals.
