Former FTX executive Ryan Salame seeks to rescind plea deal, saying the government reneged on the agreement to investigate his family

On August 22nd, according to CNBC, former FTX executive Ryan Salame sought to revoke the plea agreement, claiming that the federal government reneged on the agreement to end the investigation of his partner. In a filing on Wednesday, Salame's lawyers demanded that the plea agreement be revoked and accused the government of violating a key element of the agreement, which is not to investigate his partner Michelle Bond. "The government used the plea negotiations to threaten Salame's partner and his family," the motion said.
