Les autorités américaines s'opposent à la demande de l'ancien cadre de FTX de retirer sa demande de protocole de plaidoyer

Golden Finance reports that the US Prosecutor's Office opposes the request of Ryan Salame, former co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, to withdraw his plea protocol. Salame pleaded guilty to financial irregularities in his campaign and was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison. His lawyer applied to withdraw the protocol, claiming that the prosecutor implied during negotiations that they would not investigate Salame's partner, Michelle Bond. However, on August 22, authorities filed new charges against Bond, accusing her of campaign finance violations. Salame affirme avoir plaidé coupable en raison de l'engagement du gouvernement de ne pas enquêter sur BOND. Le document affirme que cette accusation est « manifestement erronée ». Salame est également confronté à une amende et à des dommages-intérêts d'environ 6 millions de dollars. Salame is scheduled to be imprisoned on October 13th, and if the court accepts his withdrawal request, he may face a comprehensive criminal trial. Salame did not testify in the trial of Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX, while former FTX executives Nishad Singh and Gary Wang have pleaded guilty and testified. Bankman-Fried has been sentenced to 25 years in prison, and Ellison's sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled.
