Former FTX executive Ryan Salame has asked a US judge to either vacate his conviction or block any indictment of his girlfriend, alleging prosecutors reneged on a deal to stop investigating her if he entered into a plea agreement.

But the government lawyers who brought the criminal cases against FTX insiders say there was no such deal and labeled Salame’s allegations false and incomplete.
