Former FTX executive Ryan Salame has requested a U.S. judge to vacate his guilty plea or prevent the indictment of his partner, Michelle Bond, alleging that prosecutors breached an agreement to halt their investigation into her. Salame, who received a 90-month sentence, claims the government had promised not to pursue campaign finance charges against Bond if he pleaded guilty. However, Bond, a former congressional candidate, has now been charged with campaign finance violations. Salame's legal team argues that this development constitutes misconduct in the plea deal, seeking dismissal of the indictment against Bond.
