How did this guy ever get his sentence commuted and his fines and restitution forgiven?

David Gentile defrauded people of $1.6 billion, received a 7 year sentence, plus was ordered to pay restitution to his victims. Donald J. Trump wiped it all away in a second. All those Trump worshipping MAGAts who can't afford to fill up their gas tanks or put food on the table should take note.

They just love to punish immigrants and Democrats and minorities every chance they get because they are the punishment regime. They are nothing else

all claim that they were just following orders. I hope pro democracy forces remain steadfast, besides, I hear there are lots of empty cages in Guantanamo Bay that need to be filled.

It''s not a TV series any more.

It's the U.S. government.

Pay to play.

They'd happily line up to get screwed as long as they do the brown people first.

aside from the stupid pardon bribery crap...

How is it these people commit $1.6 Billion fraud/theft, but only had to pay some $15 million in fines????? All of that money should come back, not 1/10th of it.

His wife should not have had $1 million or w/e it was to 'contribute' to Trump's Super PAC.

These fraudsters should be left with NOTHING...
