Ryan Salame, a former executive of <a href="https://optimisus.com/news/crypto-news/ftx-exchange-and-trading-firm-alameda-research-to-pay-12-7-billion-to-creditors/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FTX exchange</a>, is appealing to a US judge to review his conviction, alleging that US prosecutors violated their agreement to cease pursuing his partner, Michelle Bond.Salame contends that this violation of the agreement should exclude any additional charges against Bond, emphasizing the conflicts arising from the plea deal he agreed to.According to his legal team, the government reneged on its promise to cease investigating Bond, a former congressional candidate and the mother of his child, after he decided to plead guilty.The U.S. Attorney&#39;s Office refutes these allegations, asserting that they are both incorrect and motivated by self-interest. Salame&#39;s legal representatives have presented their complaints to the U.S. Southern District Court of New York, requesting redress owing to dubious strategies employed to get Salame&#39;s admission of guilt.Salame received a 90-month jail sentence following his conviction for conspiring to make illicit political contributions and misleading the Federal Election Commission.In addition, he was convicted of engaging in an unlicensed money transmission company in connection with his position at <a href="https://optimisus.com/news/crypto-news/ftx-agrees-to-a-12-7-billion-settlement-with-the-cftc-over-its-collapse/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FTX</a>, the defunct bitcoin exchange.Salame&#39;s endeavor to challenge his conviction on the grounds of governmental misconduct introduces another dimension to the FTX collapse narrative. This has the potential to establish a legal precedent that could influence the handling of plea agreements and potentially affect the current investigation into Bond.
