Former FTX Exec Ryan Salame Faces Sanctions After Admitting to Lying in Plea Deal

Judge Kaplan considers next steps as Salame's attempt to withdraw guilty plea reveals false testimony about promises made by prosecutors.

Ryan Salame, former FTX executive, admitted to lying about prosecutors' promises during his 2023 plea deal.
Judge Lewis Kaplan accused Salame of inducing him to accept a guilty plea based on false testimony.
Salame initially tried to withdraw his guilty plea, claiming prosecutors promised to stop investigating his partner, Michelle Bond.
Prosecutors denied making any such promise, and emails suggest a possible communication breakdown.
Salame, sentenced to 7.5 years in prison, is scheduled to report on October 11, while Bond faces separate charges.
