Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating whether former FTX executive Ryan Salame and his girlfriend, former congressional candidate Michelle Bond, may have violated campaign finance laws, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Prosecutors are investigating whether the pair illegally circumvented federal restrictions on contributions to Bond’s 2022 Republican primary for New York’s 1st Congressional District, one of the people said. Investigators are looking into the money Salame provided to Bond and the loans she made for the campaign. The investigation is separate from the case against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried.
