Jailed FTX Exec Withdraws His Request to Compel Government to Abide by Plea Deal !!
Former FTX executive Ryan Salame has reportedly withdrawn his legal request before a New York court. For context, the legal request had asked his previous plea be thrown out and his sentence vacated on the grounds that prosecutors had obtained his guilty plea improperly.
Salame’s legal team told the court his longtime partner, Michelle Bond also facing criminal charges “may raise the matter” of his guilty plea in her case.
However, Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that he would still hold a hearing on the original petition regardless of Salame's motion to withdraw it.
