Former FTX executive Ryan Salame is attempting to withdraw his guilty plea in a criminal case involving campaign finance and money-transmitting offenses. He claims that prosecutors went back on their promise not to investigate his partner, Michelle Bond. Salame filed a petition for post-conviction relief, alleging that the government had assured him they would not pursue Bond if he pleaded guilty. However, they have since resumed investigating her. He argues that the government should honor their agreement by dropping charges against Bond or allowing him to retract his plea. Salame also criticized the prosecutor's tactics as coercive. He faces a 7.5-year prison sentence and hefty fines. The legal battle highlights the complexities of plea deals and government commitments in criminal cases.
