You can still apply for removal of conditions (when the time comes) if you can prove that you married in good faith and intent at the time of getting married. That when you married - you had an intent to have a life together

I don't see that your marriage was valid to this woman, since you are stating that she was still legally married when she married you. Therefore, your greencard could be revoked if USCIS was to find out about this. However, if you don't leave the U.S., then you'll have no choice but to file Form I-751 to remove the condition on your residency, & request a waiver of the joint filing requirement, when the time comes. I don't see how USCIS would approve the I-751, even if you believed it was a bona fide marriage, if it was proven that your spouse was married at the time she married you. I'd advise speaking with an attorney in-person about this very sensitive matter.
