Ryan Salame, a previous high-ranking official at FTX FTT/USD, is reportedly preparing to admit to criminal allegations on Thursday, stemming from the downfall of the crypto trading platform.

Salame, once a joint head of FTX Digital Markets, is set to make his court appearance in Manhattan after extensive talks with legal authorities, Bloomberg reported.

This anticipated admission, marking the fourth from a top-tier FTX leader, precedes the upcoming trial of FTX's co-creator, Sam Bankman-Fried.
