[Ryan Salame's Wife Faces Charges for Allegedly Using FTX Funds to Finance Congressional Campaign] According to Cointelegraph, Michelle Bond, the wife of former FTX executive Ryan Salame, is facing criminal charges for allegedly using FTX funds to finance her 2022 congressional campaign. Manhattan federal judge George Daniels has denied Bond's motion to dismiss the charges, ruling that the case will proceed. Bond previously claimed that prosecutors had promised not to charge her in exchange for Salame's guilty plea, but the judge determined that no such promise was included in the plea agreement. Prosecutors allege that Bond obtained $400,000 from FTX through a consulting agreement and received additional hundreds of thousands of dollars transferred by Salame to illegally fund her campaign, while concealing the source of the funds and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission. Bond faces a total of four charges, each carrying a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
