Ryan Salame, a former senior executive of failed crypto exchange FTX, attempted to delay reporting to prison for his 7.5-year sentence by claiming he needed to treat a dog bite on his face. However, a judge dismissed Salame's claims after an interview he did with Tucker Carlson showed no signs of impairment. Salame, who was convicted of violating US election laws, had already been granted postponements of his prison start date and the court doubted the veracity of his claims. Salame's girlfriend, crypto advocate Michelle Bond, is also being pursued by prosecutors for allegedly taking illegal campaign contributions.
