According to people familiar with the matter, he could plead guilty to violating campaign donation laws as early as next month. It is unclear if he reached an agreement to cooperate with prosecutors and testify against the SBF in October.
Salame has not previously been charged with the FTX bankruptcy, and details of a potential plea agreement have yet to be finalized.
If due process, Salame would be the fourth former FTX executive to plead guilty. Previously, Gary Wang, Caroline Ellison, and Nishad Singh have all pleaded guilty and will be key witnesses in the US government’s prosecution of SBF.
According to Bahamian court filings filed on December 14, Ryan Salame, former co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets (FDM), told the Securities Commission of the Bahamas (SCB) on November 9 that FTX is sending client funds to its sister company, the trading company Alameda Research.
Salame said the money was to “cover Alameda’s financial losses” and that the transfer was “not authorized or agreed upon by its customers”.
According to previous reports, the FBI searched Ryan Salame’s whereabouts in April this year. In July, Ryan Salame was investigated by federal prosecutors in Manhattan for possible violations of campaign finance laws.
