PANews reported on November 21 that, according to Cryptopolitan, former U.S. federal prosecutor Danielle Sassoon vehemently denied promising immunity to Michelle Bond, a partner of former FTX executive Ryan Salame, at a high-stakes evidence hearing in Manhattan federal court. According to the hearing, Sassoon testified regarding the guilty plea of Ryan Salame, former co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, who was sentenced to more than seven years in prison. Further scrutiny of the former FTX executive and his then-girlfriend, Michelle Bond, has led to campaign finance charges against Sassoon. "I had no intention of setting a trap or inducing anyone to plead guilty," Sassoon stated, referring to Bond's continued prosecution after Salame's guilty plea. Bond, one of the last remaining individuals linked to the criminal case involving the former FTX executive, is seeking to dismiss the charges and argues that prosecutors “induced Salame to plead guilty.” Bond has pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit illegal campaign donations, facilitating and accepting excessive campaign donations, facilitating and receiving illegal corporate donations, and facilitating and receiving channel donations.PANews reported on November 21 that, according to Cryptopolitan, former U.S. federal prosecutor Danielle Sassoon vehemently denied promising immunity to Michelle Bond, a partner of former FTX executive Ryan Salame, at a high-stakes evidence hearing in Manhattan federal court.
