A Manhattan federal judge has denied a motion to dismiss the campaign finance indictment against Michelle Bond, clearing the way for her criminal trial to begin in November. Bond, the wife of a former FTX executive, had sought dismissal by arguing that prosecutors misled her husband regarding the charges she faces. The judge rejected that claim, allowing the case to proceed. The charges center on alleged campaign finance violations, a category of offense that has surfaced repeatedly in legal matters connected to figures linked to the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX. The ruling marks another development in the broader web of prosecutions stemming from FTX's downfall. With the trial date now fixed, Bond will face the allegations in court later this year unless further legal maneuvers alter the timeline. The decision underscores the continued legal fallout surrounding individuals associated with the failed exchange.
