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 前联合首席执行官 Ryan Salame 已同意转让其价值数百万美元的巴哈马住宅,作为刑事起诉认罪协议的一部分。
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.
根据 FTX Trading Ltd 和关联债务人 5 月 1 日向美国特拉华州破产法院提交的请求,Ryan Salame 已同意放弃位于巴哈马群岛价值 590 万美元的豪宅。
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.
萨拉姆于 2023 年 9 月承认了刑事指控,他的认罪协议迫使他向债务人支付 560 万美元的赔偿。
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,他不需要支付现金,而是通过将房屋所有权转让给 FTX Digital Markets Ltd 来获得赔偿。
“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.
文件称,“Salame 将通过将他在巴哈马拥有的一处住宅(奥尔巴尼 10 号公寓滨海住宅 3A 号单元)转让给 FTX DM 来满足赔偿金额。”
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.
债务人辩称,这符合他们的最佳利益,因为这使萨拉姆不必很快以折扣价出售该住宅,这可能会危及他们将其他巴哈马财产货币化的能力。
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.
巴哈马房地产经纪人表示,2023 年高端房产销量大幅下降至 25%。与此同时,澳大利亚房地产机构Properstar透露,去年公寓价格下降了28%。

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.
请愿书还表示,Salame 承诺于 2021 年 9 月以 720 万美元的价格购买该房产,其中 10% 的押金从 Silvergate 银行的 Alameda Research 账户存入。
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 从其位于巴哈马的富达银行账户中向 Salame 的房地产律师汇出 810 万美元,以支付剩余的购买价格。
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.
萨拉姆和阿拉米达于 2022 年 3 月签署了一份期票,同意他向阿拉米达支付 810 万美元。然而,FTX 和 Alameda 于 2022 年 11 月初倒闭,随后不久就申请破产。
Salame’s sentencing date is presently set for May 28, 2024.
Salame 的宣判日期目前定为 2024 年 5 月 28 日。
