Recently, Joe “Biden commuted sentences for scammers who defrauded $5 billion from over 1 million victims. It’s the single mass jailbreak of scammers in history. Here are some of the names and stories. Zeek CEO Paul Burks’ $900 million Ponzi scam claimed over 1 million working-class victims,” notes journalist Daniel Greenfield. “A decade later, victims of the scam in a town in North Carolina are still suffering. People took out mortgages on their homes and cashed out their life savings. Biden had no sympathy for them. Only for the CEO.”
“Biden also commuted the sentence of James Fry, a hedge fund manager convicted in the Petters Group $1.9 billion Ponzi scheme described as “one of the largest and most complex Ponzi schemes in U.S. history.”
“Biden commuted the sentence of Timothy McGinn accused of defrauding 900 investors of $136 million, who had been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Victims included a father of two wounded veterans who had been putting aside the money for their expenses.”
“Former CEO Eric Bloom, accused of committing the ‘biggest fraud in Chicago court history’ in what was described as a $665 million fraud scheme also got a pass from Biden.”
“Gregory McKnight, who ran a $72 million Ponzi scheme that targeted at least 3,000 investors in every state in the country, got bailed out by Biden.”
“Biden also sprang Nevin Shapiro, sentenced to 20 years in prison for a $930 million Ponzi scheme.”
“Biden also intervened on behalf of former CEO Gregory J. Podlucky, who ran a bottled water company and had been accused of a $685 million pyramid fraud loan scheme in which the money was spent on jewels and toy trains.”
“Marc Dreier, had been sentenced to 20 years in prison for a $740 million Ponzi scheme with losses to investors estimated at $400 million, also got a helping hand from the White House.”
Greenfield mentions “18 names involved in multi-million dollar scams. There were also other notorious figures including Paul Daugerdas : a lawyer accused of manufacturing $7 billion in fake tax deductions in what was described as ‘the biggest tax fraud prosecution ever.’”
“’No one is above the law,’ Biden told us, before pardoning his son and executing a mass jailbreak of some of the worst financial scammers and fraudsters in the United States. No president has ever left office bailing out individuals who did so much harm to so many,” notes Greenfield.
These aren’t the only big-time fraudsters bailed out by Biden. Another commentator notes that “Jacqueline Mills stole millions of dollars from a taxpayer funded USDA program to feed poor children in Arkansas. Joe Biden just granted her clemency.”
“Biden granted clemency to Rita Crundwell. She embezzled over $53 million from the city of Dixon, Illinois, for over 22 years in what the Department of Justice described as ‘the largest theft of public funds in state history.'”
Biden also granted clemency to Chinese spies and the brother of Hamas’s founder. Biden also commuted the sentence of a viciously corrupt judge who was part of a scheme that sent 2,500 kids to a for-profit prison for excessive periods, in exchange for kickbacks. The kids were given excessively long sentences in order to keep the for-profit prison full.
