Odaily Planet Daily News: U.S. prosecutors said they did not violate the plea agreement reached with former FTX executive Ryan Salame and did not promise to stop the investigation of his partner Michelle Bond. Salame previously accused the government of threatening his partner Bond during plea negotiations, but prosecutors emphasized that they had repeatedly made it clear to Salame's lawyers that the plea would not affect the ongoing investigation of Bond. Salame pleaded guilty in September to participating in an illegal political donation conspiracy and operating an unregistered money transfer business, and was sentenced to 7 and a half years in prison. Bond was accused last month of using illegal funds to fund his campaign for the New York State Assembly. Prosecutors also revealed that Salame was suspected of misconduct during his time at FTX, including using other people's identity information to open accounts and overseeing the payment of bribes to immigration officials.
