Michelle Bond Charged with Campaign Finance Violations
News summary

Michelle Bond, the girlfriend of former FTX executive Ryan Salame, has been indicted for campaign finance violations related to her unsuccessful 2022 congressional campaign. Federal prosecutors allege that Bond accepted illegal contributions, including $400,000 channeled through a 'sham consulting agreement' with FTX, which Salame orchestrated. Meanwhile, Salame claims that the government is violating a plea deal by continuing its investigation into Bond, stating that he was promised immunity for her if he pleaded guilty. He is now asking a judge to either void his conviction or halt the probe against Bond, asserting that prosecutors used threats against her to coerce his plea. Salame, who has been sentenced to 7.5 years in prison, argues that the government's actions are unjust and detrimental to his family. Both Bond's legal team and the Digital Future think tank have not commented on the indictment as the situation unfolds.
