Former FTX executive Ryan Salame has requested to delay the date he must report to prison to begin a seven-and-a-half-year sentence so he can undergo surgery after a dog attack.

Salame was due to surrender to the federal Bureau of Prisons on Aug. 29 after being sentenced for violating campaign finance laws and operating an unlicensed money transmitter, crimes he pleaded guilty to following the multibillion dollar collapse of crypto exchange FTX.
