How did this guy ever get his sentence commuted and his fines and restitution forgiven? [View all]

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.
