Ryan Salame, a former executive at the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, and his partner, Michelle Bond, a crypto policy advocate, are facing legal troubles that have tarnished their public personas. Salame is about to begin a 7.5-year prison term for campaign finance fraud, and Bond has been charged with similar violations. Once a powerful couple in the crypto industry, they are now navigating serious legal challenges and financial uncertainties after the collapse of FTX, marked by the sale of their house and loss of influence.
