The guilty plea of former FTX executive Ryan Salame failed to stop an investigation into his partner

US prosecutors said they did not breach a plea deal with former FTX executive Ryan Salame and did not commit to stopping the investigation of his partner Michelle Bond. Salame has previously accused the government of threatening his significant other Bonds in plea negotiations, but prosecutors stressed that they repeatedly made it clear to Salame's lawyers that the plea would not affect the ongoing investigation of Bond.
Salame pleaded guilty in September to participating in an illegal political donation conspiracy and operating an unregistered money transfer business, and was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison. Bond was charged last month with using illegal funds to fund his campaign for the New York State House of Representatives. Prosecutors also revealed that Salame was suspected of misconduct during FTX, including using other people's identifying information to open accounts and overseeing the payment of bribes to immigration officials.
