Ex-FTX executive Ryan Salame is scheduled to report to prison following a denial of his request by Judge Lewis Kaplan. The judge based his decision on prosecutors' observations, which indicated that Salame appeared physically recovered and unimpaired during a recent interview with Tucker Carlson.
Salame's appeal was to avoid immediate imprisonment due to purported health concerns. However, the court found these claims inconsistent with his media appearance, influencing the decision to deny his request.
This ruling highlights the ongoing legal repercussions faced by former executives of FTX amid their notable collapse and scrutiny by authorities.
