    Former FTX-tied politician accused of campaign finance crime

    Michelle Bond, the partner of former FTX executive Ryan Salame, has been accused of violating U.S. campaign finance laws, according to an unsealed indictment.

    Ex-Congressional aspirant Michelle Bond was accused of financing her failed 2022 New York House campaign with money from an unspecified Bahamas-based crypto exchange.

    Per the unsealed document seen on Aug. 22, Damian Williams, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, argued that Bond injected at least $400,000 of illegal money into her candidacy from a “shame consulting agreement.”

    Bond was already involved with Salame at the time, and he worked for FTX crypto exchange. The company, founded by imprisoned crypto tycoon Sam Bankman-Fried, was based in the Bahamas and charged with similar campaign law violations. 

    Federal prosecutors claim that Bond admitted the exchange’s role in funding her campaign during a Trade Group board meeting. FBI acting assistant director Christia M. Curtis added that Bond intentionally misled Congress about the source of the funds and employed other tactics to cover her tracks.

    FTX’s Salame in protracted litigation

    The unsealed charges against Bond come shortly after Salame accused the government of reneging on a plea deal. The agreement, according to Salame, included his guilty plea and a promise to halt any investigation into Bond.

    Salame pleaded guilty to conspiracy in September 2023, around the time of Bankman-Fried’s trial, and was sentenced to seven and a half years behind bars. He now intends to challenge his sentence or seek the dismissal of charges against Bond.

    Bond was previously under investigation for campaign finance issues pertaining to her 2022 Congressional campaign in New York’s District 1.

    Fed’s blast Salame

    In response, prosecutors cited Salame’s post-sentencing social media statements as a “complete lack of remorse” for America’s legal complex.

    Salame had posted tweets accusing fellow FTX executives Caroline Ellison and Nishad Singh of lying to secure better plea deals from the government. On Aug. 21, prosecutors highlighted these posts, stating that they showed no remorse for his actions.

    If you want to know how f*cked up our justice system is watch how little time Nishad and Caroline get after lying to save themselves.
