Former FTX Executive Ryan Salame Agrees to Forfeit $5.9 Million Bahamas House in Plea Agreement

In
a
dramatic
turn
of
events
involving
the
criminal
case
that
includes
Ryan
Salame,
the
former
co-CEO
of
FTX
Digital
Markets,
it
has
been
announced
that
Salame
has
accepted
to
give
up
his
Bahamas
property,
which
is
valued
at
$5.9
million,
as
part
of
his
plea
agreement.
This
is
a
significant
development
in
the
case
since
it
will
allow
Salame
to
avoid
further
prosecution.
As
an
alternative
to
being
compelled
to
make
restitution
in
the
sum
of
$5.6
million
in
cash,
this
decision
was
reached
as
an
option.

A
breakdown
of
the
terms
of
the
agreement
to
plead
guilty

Ryan
Salame
made
a
guilty
plea
before
the
court
at
the
beginning
of
September
2023
in
response
to
the
allegations
that
were
brought
about
by
the
collapse
of
the
cryptocurrency
exchange.

In
order
for
Salame
to
comply
with
the
conditions
of
the
plea
agreement,
he
was
required
to
make
reparation
payments
to
creditors
that
totaled
$5.6
million.

After
reaching
an
agreement
with
FTX
Digital
Markets
Ltd.,
Salame
has
consented
to
hand
up
his
Bahamas
house,
which
is
estimated
to
be
worth
$5.9
million.
This
is
in
place
of
making
a
monetary
payment
to
cover
the
amount
of
the
repair.

In
order
for
Salame
to
accomplish
his
obligation
to
perform
the
restitution
requirement,
the
transfer
of
the
property
is
one
of
the
most
crucial
components
that
must
be
completed.

The
plea
deal
was
reached

Because
of
the
criminal
case,
Salame
is
able
to
fulfil
a
significant
portion
of
his
financial
commitment
by
giving
up
his
home
in
the
Bahamas.
This
is
achieved
by
giving
up
his
house
in
the
Bahamas.

The
transfer
of
the
property
to
FTX
Digital
Markets
Ltd.
ulfils
the
purpose
of
providing
a
kind
of
restitution
to
the
creditors
who
are
involved
in
the
case.

This
plea
agreement
sheds
light
on
the
seriousness
of
the
claims
that
have
been
presented
against
Salame
as
well
as
the
legal
implications
that
he
will
have
to
face
as
a
result
of
the
actions
that
he
has
taken.
