Michelle Bond, previously a notable crypto advocate and SEC lawyer, has been indicted for illegal campaign contributions connected to her former boyfriend and FTX executive Ryan Salame.
The indictment details illegal handling and acceptance of donations, with Bond allegedly filing ethics documents that falsely claimed the sources of her campaign funding.
While Ryan Salame's name wasn't directly mentioned, the allegations closely align with his background as a senior FTX executive who pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations.
Salame's attorneys argue that his guilty plea included an implicit agreement to protect Bond, suggesting that her case is intertwined with his legal issues.
