Court filings from the US Attorney's office reveal additional criminal allegations against former FTX Digital Markets CEO Ryan Salame, including involvement in a bribery scheme, narcotics trafficking, and paying for prostitutes. Salame had filed a motion to withdraw his plea agreement after his co-defendant, Michelle Bond, was indicted. The government's filings challenge Salame's argument and include notes of discussions with defense attorneys. The filings suggest that Salame believed the government would not investigate Bond if he pleaded guilty, leading to implications in their personal lives. The documents also mention potential criminal behavior by Salame, such as involvement in wash trading and misrepresentations to customers.
