Former FTX exec's wife says gov't 'induced a guilty plea'

Michelle Bond, the wife of former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame, who faces federal campaign finance charges, is pushing for dismissal on the grounds that US prosecutors deceived her husband in a plea deal. In a May 7 filing in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, Bond’s lawyers reiterated some of the claims Salame made in opposing his plea deal with the government, which ultimately still led to him serving time in prison. She claimed that prosecutors obtained a deal with Salame through “stealth and deception” by allegedly agreeing they would not file charges against Bond.  “Mr source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/michelle-bond-ftx-exec-dismissal-guilty-plea?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
