前 FTX 執行長 Ryan Salame 尋求寬大處理，理由是合作和悔恨

在量刑備忘錄中，FTX 前高階主管 Ryan Salame 的律師請求判處 18 個月監禁。 Salame 參與了 FTX 的電匯存款、法幣兌換和慈善活動，而他的律師則強調了他在中央欺詐、與當局合作和重大個人損失中所扮演的較小角色。

Former FTX Executive Ryan Salame Pleads for Leniency in Sentencing, Citing Cooperation and Remorse

FTX 前高層 Ryan Salame 表示合作和悔恨，請求寬大量刑

New York, May 15, 2024 - Attorneys for Ryan Salame, the former FTX executive who pleaded guilty to election fraud charges last September, have filed a sentencing memorandum requesting an 18-month prison sentence, arguing for leniency based on his cooperation with authorities, genuine remorse, and significant personal and financial losses.

紐約，2024 年5 月15 日- 去年9 月承認選舉欺詐指控的FTX 前高管Ryan Salame 的律師已提交一份量刑備忘錄，要求判處18 個月監禁，並主張基於他與當局的合作應予以寬大處理，真正的悔恨，以及重大的個人和經濟損失。

Salame, who managed wire deposits and fiat currency conversions for FTX customers, participated in political contributions using Alameda funds, and led charitable initiatives in The Bahamas, insists that his role in the now-defunct companies was operational rather than central to the fraud. His attorneys emphasize that he had no knowledge of the core fraud perpetrated by the inner circle of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried.

Salame 曾為FTX 客戶管理電匯存款和法定貨幣兌換，使用Alameda 基金參與政治捐款，並領導了巴哈馬的慈善活動。詐欺的核心。他的律師強調，他對 FTX 創辦人 Sam Bankman-Fried 的核心詐欺行為一無所知。

"Ryan stole from no one. He did not lie to customers," Salame's attorneys stated in their filing. "He was duped... when he finally understood the FTX fraud, he was the first person to blow the whistle to authorities in The Bahamas."

「瑞恩沒有偷任何人的東西。他沒有對顧客撒謊，」薩拉姆的律師在文件中表示。 “他被騙了……當他最終了解 FTX 欺詐案時，他是第一個向巴哈馬當局舉報的人。”

Salame's cooperation with authorities included providing information to the Bahamian authorities that initiated their investigation into FTX and providing documents to the U.S. Attorney's Office without a grand jury subpoena. His attorneys argue that this cooperation has been invaluable to the ongoing investigation into the FTX collapse.

Salame 與當局的合作包括向啟動 FTX 調查的巴哈馬當局提供信息，以及在沒有大陪審團傳票的情況下向美國檢察官辦公室提供文件。他的律師辯稱，這種合作對於正在進行的 FTX 倒閉調查至關重要。

In addition to his cooperation, Salame's attorneys highlight his genuine remorse, efforts to address his substance abuse issues, and the significant personal and financial losses he has already suffered as a result of FTX's implosion. "Nearly his entire net worth has been destroyed," they noted.

除了他的合作外，Salame 的律師還強調了他真誠的悔恨、為解決藥物濫用問題所做的努力，以及他因 FTX 的崩潰而遭受的重大個人和財務損失。 「他的全部淨資產幾乎都被摧毀了，」他們指出。

Moreover, Salame's attorneys argue that the relentless media criticism of FTX and his association with Bankman-Fried will haunt him for the rest of his life, acting as an insurmountable barrier to future employment.

此外，Salame 的律師辯稱，媒體對 FTX 的無情批評以及他與 Bankman-Fried 的關係將困擾他的餘生，成為未來就業不可逾越的障礙。

In contrast to Salame's plea for leniency, former Alameda-FTX executives Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang have pleaded guilty and are seeking plea deals from U.S. authorities to avoid jail time. This raises questions about the fairness and consistency of the sentences handed down in the FTX case.

與 Salame 請求寬大處理相反，Alameda-FTX 前高管 Caroline Ellison 和 Gary Wang 已認罪，並正在尋求美國當局的認罪協議以避免入獄。這引發了人們對 FTX 案件判決的公平性和一致性的質疑。

The sentencing hearing for Ryan Salame is scheduled for later this month. The court's decision will be closely watched as it could set a precedent for the punishment of other FTX executives and individuals involved in the wider crypto industry.

瑞安·薩拉姆 (Ryan Salame) 的量刑聽證會定於本月晚些時候舉行。法院的裁決將受到密切關注，因為它可能為懲罰其他 FTX 高管和涉及更廣泛加密行業的個人樹立先例。
