[Judge orders former FTX executive Ryan Salame to appear in court, request to withdraw guilty plea not approved] Golden Finance reported that although former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame withdrew his request to withdraw his guilty plea, federal judge Lewis Kaplan still ordered him to appear in a New York court on September 12. Salame was originally scheduled to begin serving a 90-month sentence on August 29, but due to medical problems caused by a dog bite, his sentence was postponed to October 13. Salame's legal team previously submitted an application to withdraw his guilty plea, saying that authorities agreed not to investigate his partner Michelle Bond. However, on August 22, prosecutors unsealed Bond's charges of violating campaign finance laws, and Salame immediately withdrew his application. Bond is accused of illegally funding his campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2022 and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission. Both were released on bail at $1 million and are currently awaiting further trial. The outcome of Salame's case may affect the sentencing of other former FTX executives, including former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison.
