Federal prosecutors in Manhattan allege that Michelle Bond, a failed congressional candidate, illegally used $400,000 from her boyfriend, Ryan Salame, to fund her campaign, raising serious ethical and legal concerns.
Indictment states, 'BOND did not perform any services for the Exchange pursuant to the Consulting Agreement,' highlighting the fraudulent nature of the consulting gig that purportedly provided campaign funds.
The charges against Bond surfaced a day after her divorce was finalized, further complicating her personal and professional life as she navigates legal challenges.
Bond's failed campaign was financed by stolen funds, with sources indicating that she misrepresented the use of these funds to the House Ethics Committee and Federal Elections Commission.
