The FBI on Thursday reportedly searched the home of former FTX executive Ryan Salame, who ran the failed cryptocurrency exchange's Bahamian subsidiary and was a major campaign donor to Republicans. Yesterday morning's search of Salame's $4 million home in Potomac, Maryland, was reported by The New York Times and Bloomberg, with both media outlets citing anonymous sources.
Salame hasn't been charged with a crime but was a member of FTX founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried's inner circle. Salame received $87 million in payments and loans from FTX entities, the exchange's new leadership said last month.
