Michelle Bond, wife of former FTX executive Ryan Salame, is facing criminal charges for allegedly using FTX funds to finance her 2022 congressional campaign. A Manhattan federal judge has denied Bond's motion to dismiss the charges, allowing the case to proceed. Prosecutors claim Bond received $400,000 from FTX through a consulting agreement and additional funds from Salame, which were used to illegally fund her campaign while concealing the source and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission. Bond faces four charges, each carrying a potential five-year prison sentence. The case, overseen by Judge George Daniels, could be the final criminal trial linked to the FTX collapse. Bond had argued that prosecutors promised not to charge her in exchange for Salame's guilty plea, but the judge found no such agreement in the plea deal.
