SEC forgives three scammers who bilked Americans out of millions

At this point, the only way republicans will hear about this (other than republican engineers reading HN) is if a reporter gets on Joe Rogan and talks about it there.

The lesson here: steal as big as you can.

"Among the swindlers are Devon Archer, Trevor Milton and Carlos Watson, a trio of scammers who bilked Americans out of more than three quarters of a billion dollars."

"Archer was Hunter Biden's business partner. After he was caught in his investment scam, he helped prosecutors and congressional Republicans go after President Joe Biden's son."

"Milton is a multimillion-dollar donor to the 2024 Trump presidential campaign and had the wisdom to hire Brad Bondi, the brother of previous Trump lawyer, now-Attorney General Pam Bondi."

"Watson has ties to Trump pardon czar Alice Marie Johnson, recipient of a previous Trump pardon."

Feels like now more than ever, scammers should be made an example of?

Hope this doesn't set any kind of legal precedent.

Committed fraud? If you paid homage to the dictator, no you didn't...

You haven't committed a crime if you've paid homage (bribe) to the orange Emperor, either via campaign donations, bitcoins, or stock purchase, or donation to his presidential library, or even booked a room in one of his hotels for $199. That's how much he has dragged the American Justice System for Sale; F'king Pathetic.

His enablers (Senate/House lawmakers, along with conservative judges) are equal partners in his shredding of values, ethics, and standards of this country.

Someones gotta power the emergent grift growth market

The market should fix this, but it doesn't appear to be holding these folks to account.
