面临联邦竞选财务指控的前FTX数字市场联合首席执行官Ryan Salame的妻子Michelle Bond正在推动解雇

Michelle Bond, the wife of former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame, who faces federal campaign finance charges, is pushing for dismissal of the case on the grounds that US prosecutors deceived her husband in a plea deal.

面临联邦竞选财务指控的前FTX数字市场联合首席执行官Ryan Salame的妻子米歇尔·邦德（Michelle Bond）正在以美国检察官在认罪协议中欺骗丈夫欺骗其丈夫的理由来驳回此案。

In a May 7 filing in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, Bond’s lawyers, from the firm Katris, Hall, and McGregor, made some of the claims Salame made in opposing his plea deal with the government, which ultimately still led to him serving time in prison. They claimed that prosecutors obtained a deal with Salame through “stealth and deception” by allegedly agreeing they would not file charges against Bond.

在5月7日在纽约南部地区的美国地方法院提交的文件中，邦德的律师是卡特里斯，霍尔和麦格雷戈公司的律师，提出了一些索赔，其中一些索赔是反对与政府的认罪协议所提出的，最终仍导致他在监狱中服役。他们声称，检察官通过“隐身和欺骗”与Salame达成协议，据称他们同意他们不会针对债券提出指控。

“Mr. Salame and Ms. Bond’s attorneys were advised that the agreement to cease investigating Ms. Bond could not be placed within the four corners of the Salame plea or other written agreement, but the government still offered it as an inducement to induce the plea,” said the filing, adding:

“萨拉姆先生和邦德女士的律师被告知，停止调查邦德女士的协议不能置于萨拉姆认罪或其他书面协议的四个角落之内，但政府仍然提出了这一诱因。”

“The government’s alleged misstatements to Mr. Salame’s attorneys were material. Had Mr. Salame known that the government was going to pursue charges against Ms. Bond in August 2024, he would not have entered the plea in January 2023, and he would not have advised Ms. Bond to run for Congress.”

“政府据称对萨拉姆先生的律师的错误陈述是有意义的。如果萨拉姆先生知道政府将在2024年8月对邦德女士提起指控，他将不会在2023年1月提出认罪，他不会建议邦德女士竞选国会。”

Prosecutors charged Bond in August 2024 with conspiracy to cause unlawful campaign contributions, causing and accepting excessive campaign contributions, causing and receiving an unlawful corporate contribution, and causing and receiving a conduit contribution. The charges are related to Bond’s failed run as a Republican candidate for a seat in the US House of Representatives in 2022. Salame, who pleaded guilty to two felony charges in 2023 and was later sentenced to more than seven years in prison, attempted to void his deal with prosecutors, claiming it had included an agreement not to charge Bond.

检察官于2024年8月收取债券，串谋造成非法竞选捐款，造成和接受过多的竞选捐款，造成并接受非法的公司捐款，并造成和收到渠道捐款。这些指控与邦德（Bond）在2022年在美国众议院席位的共和党候选人失败的竞选有关。萨拉姆（Salame）在2023年对两项重罪指控认罪，后来被判处七年徒刑，试图使他与检察官的交易无效，并声称该协议不包括邦德（Bond）。

The May 7 filing requested the court suppress any statements Bond made after the alleged “inducement” in Salame’s deal. Salame made similar claims in court filings attempting to nullify his plea, but later dropped the matter and reported to prison in October 2024.

5月7日提交的提交要求法院压制据称萨拉姆（Salame）交易“诱使”后做出的任何陈述。萨拉姆（Salame）在法庭文件中提出了类似的索赔，试图取消他的请求，但后来撤销了此事，并于2024年10月向监狱报告。

Bond’s campaign finance charges came after she announced her candidacy for Congress in 2022. She dropped out of the race in November 2022 after reports that House Republicans were planning an investigation into the campaign.

邦德的竞选财务指控是在2022年宣布竞选国会之后的。她于2022年11月退出了比赛，此前有报道称众议院共和党计划对竞选活动进行调查。

The indictment against Bond alleged she filed reports to the Federal Election Commission with false information about the funds used for her campaign. It also claimed she and another person engaged in a scheme to funnel money into her campaign from a corporation, which is illegal.

对债券的起诉书称她向联邦选举委员会提交了报告，并提供了有关其竞选资金的虚假信息。它还声称她和另一个人从一家非法的公司中筹集了一项计划，将钱汇入了她的竞选活动中。

The complaint stated that Salame allegedly authorized the use of FTX funds for political contributions. It added that the former FTX executive had agreed to advise his attorneys on the scope of the plea, and that prosecutors had promised not to bring charges against members of Salame’s family or household in the Southern District of New York.

投诉指出，据称Salame授权使用FTX资金进行政治捐款。它补充说，这位前FTX高管已同意就请求范围咨询其律师，并且检察官承诺不对纽约南部地区的Salame家人或家庭成员提起诉讼。

However, the filing claimed that the prosecutors "deliberately deceived" Salame’s attorneys into believing that they would not be able to file charges against Bond. It stated that, "in fact, the government had no intention of honouring its commitment not to charge Ms. Bond."

但是，该文件声称检察官“故意欺骗”萨拉姆的律师认为他们将无法对债券提起指控。它指出，“实际上，政府无意兑现其不收取邦德女士的承诺。”

According to the filing, Salame’s attorneys repeatedly raised concerns about the possibility of charges against Bond, and that prosecutors responded by saying they would not be able to include an agreement not to charge her in any written plea agreement. The filing claimed that prosecutors had no intention of filing charges against Bond at the time of Salame’s plea, but they later decided to pursue charges.

根据文件，萨拉姆（Salame）的律师反复提出了对债券指控的可能性的担忧，而检察官回应说，他们将无法包括一项协议，不向任何书面认罪协议中指控她。该文件声称，检察官无意在萨拉姆认罪时针对债券提起诉讼，但后来他们决定提起诉讼。

The filing argued that the new campaign finance charges against Bond are a continuation of the same scheme for which Salame was charged. It claimed that Salame was attempting to withdraw his plea and that he would be able to identify the identity of the person who allegedly deceived him.

该文件认为，针对债券的新竞选财务指控是对Salame被指控的同一计划的延续。它声称Salame试图撤回他的请求，他将能够确定据称欺骗他的人的身份。

The FTX saga continues

FTX传奇继续

Since the collapse of FTX in 2022, nearly all former executives indicted on charges related to the misuse of the crypto exchange’s funds have had their day in court.

自2022年FTX崩溃以来，几乎所有因与加密货币交易所资金滥用有关的指控而被起诉的前高管都在法庭上度过了一天。

Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, who pleaded not guilty, went through a trial in 2023 and was later sentenced to 25 years in prison. His lawyers filed a notice of appeal, and reports suggested he may be seeking a pardon from US President Donald Trump.

FTX前首席执行官山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）表示不认罪，他于2023年接受审判，后来被判处25年徒刑。他的律师提出了上诉通知，并建议他可能正在向美国总统唐纳德·特朗普寻求赦免。

Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research, was sentenced to two years in prison in September 2024 as part of a plea deal and began serving her time in November. Nishad Singh and Gary Wang, former FTX executives who also pleaded guilty to charges, were each sentenced to time served in 2024.

阿拉米达研究（Alameda Research）的前首席执行官卡罗琳·埃里森（Caroline Ellison）于2024年9月被判处两年徒刑，作为认罪协议的一部分，并于11月开始服役。尼沙德·辛格（Nishad Singh）和加里·王（Gary Wang）是前FTX高管，他们也对指控认罪，他们在2024年被判刑。
