Ryan Salame Secures 45-Day Delay Due to Dog Bite Before 7.5-Year Sentence; Fidel Zavala Released from El Salvador Prison

Ryan Salame, a former executive of the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, has received a 45-day extension before beginning his 7.5-year prison sentence due to a dog bite that requires surgery. The extension was granted by Judge Kaplan, with the new report date set for October 13. Salame's lawyers cited the injury, sustained from a German Shepherd, as the reason for the delay. Meanwhile, Fidel Zavala, who was imprisoned for 13 months under El Salvador's indefinite state of exception, has been released without conviction. Zavala has alleged widespread corruption in the country's prisons, including officials demanding $420 in 'donations' for brief family visits.
