Jailed FTX Exec Withdraws His Request to Compel Government to Abide by Plea Deal
Powered by @unfolded- Ryan Salame, the former FTX executive, has withdrawn his legal request to a New York court regarding the conditions of his plea deal with prosecutors.
- Salame's lawyers had previously claimed that prosecutors obtained his guilty plea improperly by promising to cease investigations into Michelle Bond, Salame's partner.
- However, Bond has now been indicted on charges of taking illegal campaign contributions from Salame and other FTX employees during her failed 2022 run for a Congressional seat.
- Salame is withdrawing his petition to allow Bond to address the matter in her own case, with the primary relief sought being the dismissal of the indictment against her.
