Ryan Salame, the former co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, has agreed to transfer his multimillion-dollar Bahamas home as part of a plea agreement in a criminal prosecution.

FTX Digital Markets 前聯合執行長 Ryan Salame 已同意轉讓其價值數百萬美元的巴哈馬住宅，作為刑事起訴認罪協議的一部分。

According to a request filed by FTX Trading Ltd and connected debtors with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on May 1, Ryan Salame has agreed to give up a $5.9 million mansion in the Bahamas.

根據 FTX Trading Ltd 和關聯債務人 5 月 1 日向美國特拉華州破產法院提交的請求，Ryan Salame 已同意放棄位於巴哈馬群島價值 590 萬美元的豪宅。

Salame pleaded guilty to criminal charges in September 2023, and his plea deal compelled him to pay $5.6 million in compensation to the debtors.

薩拉姆於 2023 年 9 月承認了刑事指控，他的認罪協議迫使他向債務人支付 560 萬美元的賠償。

Salame offers that rather than paying cash, he meet the restitution by transferring ownership of his home to FTX Digital Markets Ltd.

Salame 提出，他不需要支付現金，而是透過將房屋所有權轉讓給 FTX Digital Markets Ltd 來獲得賠償。

“Salame will satisfy the Restitution Amount by transferring a residence he owns in the Bahamas, Unit No. 3A in the Marina Residences at Albany Building 10 Condominium, to FTX DM,” according to the document.

文件稱，“Salame 將通過將他在巴哈馬擁有的一處住宅（奧爾巴尼 10 號公寓濱海住宅 3A 號單元）轉讓給 FTX DM 來滿足賠償金額。”

The debtors contended that this is in their best interests since it saves Salame from having to sell the residence soon and at a discount, which could jeopardize their ability to monetize other Bahamian properties.

債務人辯稱，這符合他們的最佳利益，因為這使薩拉姆不必很快以折扣價出售該住宅，這可能會危及他們將其他巴哈馬財產貨幣化的能力。

In 2023, Bahamian realtors stated that high-end sales volumes had fallen by much to 25%. Meanwhile, Australian real estate agency Properstar revealed that apartment prices have decreased by 28% in the last year.

巴哈馬房地產經紀人表示，2023 年高端房產銷售量大幅下降至 25%。同時，澳洲房地產機構Properstar透露，去年公寓價格下降了28%。

Salame faces charges of conspiracy to make illegal political contributions and deceive the Federal Election Commission, as well as conspiracy to operate an unauthorized money-transmitting business.

薩拉姆面臨共謀非法政治獻金和欺騙聯邦選舉委員會的指控，以及共謀經營未經授權的匯款業務的指控。

The petition also stated that Salame committed to buy the property for $7.2 million in September 2021, with the 10% deposit deposited from an Alameda Research account at Silvergate Bank.

請願書還表示，Salame 承諾於 2021 年 9 月以 720 萬美元的價格購買該房產，其中 10% 的押金從 Silvergate 銀行的 Alameda Research 帳戶存入。

In November of that year, FTX DM sent $8.1 million from its Fidelity Bank account in the Bahamas to Salame’s real estate attorney to pay the remaining purchase price.

同年 11 月，FTX DM 從其位於巴哈馬的富達銀行帳戶中向 Salame 的房地產律師匯出 810 萬美元，以支付剩餘的購買價格。

Salame and Alameda signed a promissory note in March 2022, agreeing that he would pay Alameda $8.1 million. However, FTX and Alameda collapsed in early November 2022, with bankruptcy filings following shortly thereafter.

薩拉姆和阿拉米達於 2022 年 3 月簽署了一份期票，同意他向阿拉米達支付 810 萬美元。然而，FTX 和 Alameda 於 2022 年 11 月初倒閉，隨後不久就申請破產。

Salame’s sentencing date is presently set for May 28, 2024.

Salame 的宣判日期目前定為 2024 年 5 月 28 日。
