**[U.S. Prosecutor Denies Promising Immunity in FTX Partner Case]** According to Cryptopolitan, former U.S. federal prosecutor Danielle Sassoon firmly denied promising immunity to Michelle Bond, the partner of former FTX executive Ryan Salame, during a high-stakes evidentiary hearing held at Manhattan federal court. During the hearing, Sassoon testified regarding the guilty plea of Ryan Salame, the former co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, who was sentenced to over seven years in prison following his plea. Further scrutiny of the former FTX executive and his then-girlfriend Michelle Bond has led to campaign finance allegations against Sassoon. “I had no intention of setting traps or coercing anyone into pleading guilty,” Sassoon stated in reference to Bond being prosecuted even after Salame’s guilty plea. Bond is one of the last few individuals connected to the criminal cases involving former FTX executives. She is seeking to have the charges dismissed, arguing that prosecutors “induced Salame’s guilty plea.” Bond has pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to make illegal campaign contributions, facilitating and accepting excessive campaign donations, facilitating and receiving illegal corporate donations, and facilitating and receiving conduit contributions.
