Milton, who was estimated by Forbes to be worth $1.1 billion in 2021, was convicted of defrauding investors, and the U.S. Department of Justice wanted to secure over $660 million in restitution for his victims. But Trump’s pardon wiped out that monumental sum. And this week, the SEC dropped any chance of the government recouping money from civil penalties.

Milton and his wife donated $1.8 million to a re-election campaign fund for Trump shortly before the 2024 presidential election. And as the New York Times notes, Milton also hired attorney Brad Bondi, the brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi

“They say the thing that he did wrong was he was one of the first people that supported a gentleman named Donald Trump for president. He supported Trump. He liked Trump. I didn’t know him, but he liked him,” Trump said after the pardon.

if that isn't massive corruption I don't know what is

>>941490270
False equivalency ftl. Biden pardoned about 6k people serving time for marijuana and around 2k people in prison for non-violent drug offenses. None of them paid Biden for the pardon.

>>941486551 (OP)
Calling something the most corrupt in history assumes you know the inner workings of every regime and government in history, and i doubt you can possibly know that. Specifically because so many governments' inner workings are under so much secrecy, that's impossible to know.

>>941490621
>False equivalency
it's not at all a false equivalency
and he didn't even know he was pardoning them, that's blatant corruption and abuse of the office

Trump DOJ's Pattern of Lying to Federal Courts

>>941495072
It is heavily censored, in that any comments that don't follow the party line are instabanned. Never seen a reddit with so many removed comments. It's hilarious. Go to any thread there and see for yourself.

More than 200 global investors in the $TRUMP memecoin are expected to arrive Thursday at the president’s golf club in Virginia after scoring invitations to an exclusive dinner with Trump himself. The investors recently bought $148 million worth of the memecoin, generating millions of dollars in trading fees for the Trump family and its partners behind the venture, who also control most of the token

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/22/crypto-memecoin-dinner-trump-warren-00360761

>>941495824
Some have revealed themselves already. Most notable is Sun, a Chinese-born crypto billionaire who on Tuesday said he is the top $TRUMP holder and will be attending the dinner. In a social media post, Sun said he is “excited to connect with everyone, talk crypto, and discuss the future of our industry.” The dinner comes as his attorneys and Trump’s SEC are deliberating over “a potential resolution” to a lawsuit that the agency brought against him in 2023 alleging fraud.

>>941495824
ok? Trump selling a memecoin is 1000x less problematic than members of Congress regularly committing insider trading, which is actually illegal, and no one ever does anything about it

>>941495072
It’s so censored that only replies from actual Conservatives are allowed

>>941496031
I agree. The answer to corruption is greater corruption using hypocrisy as a shield.

>>941496259
the "greater corruption" was alive and well for decades before Trump ever get into office, so why the specific outrage at things he does?

>>941496360
You can’t actually tell me that Biden did anything even close to as brazen as what Trump has done so far.

>>941496489
he pardoned his own son so he wouldn't be prosecuted
he let his staff abuse his autopen to pardon thousands of criminals without his knowledge

President Donald Trump gleefully recounted how much money his billionaire pals made on the stock market after he suddenly suspended most of his worldwide tariffs.
Stocks jumped more than 7 percent Wednesday within minutes of his announcement suspending the tariff for 90 days. The market ultimately closed more than 9 percent higher.

At the White House Oval Office that day, Trump pointed to a pair of billionaire visitors.

“He made $2.5 billion, and he made $900 million! That’s not bad!” Trump said, pointing to financial investor Charles Schwab and then NASCAR team owner Roger Penske.

>President Bill Clinton's 2001 pardon of Marc Rich, a commodities trader and fugitive billionaire (net worth estimated at $2–3 billion at the time). Rich was convicted in absentia of tax evasion, wire fraud, and trading with Iran during the hostage crisis. The pardon—issued on Clinton's last day in office—was highly controversial due to Rich's ex-wife's large donations to Democratic causes and Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign.
Worse than when Clinton pardoned a billionaire who'd fled justice in the US because he donated money to democrats and his wife's senate run?
Democrats are the ultimate hypocrites.

No bro, it's pointing out that you really don't give a shit. This is just some political game. When it's your guys doing it, full speed ahead. Twenty years later, you'll go "that was wrong, so you guys can't do it either now", but when your guys are being corrupt, you ignore it or defend it.
Go fuck yourself. You're 100% going to defend corruption by the democrats, and the only time you have "ideals" about it is years later when it doesn't matter in the slightest.

>>941498183
you can't expect people to suddenly care about this shit just because Trump does it when it's been going on since before we were born, it's plain as day the only reason you're outraged about it is because "orange man bad", not because of any actual non-political principled stance
get fucked

>>941498304
No one is. Peoppe cared deeply and pelosi/Schumer behavior is constantly cited as a major reason modern democrats feel the party is failing. But you wouldn't know what if your only source of "news" is manufactured propaganda shoved at you by "independent" media influencers

>>941498570
People here always care about corruption Ivansky.

>>941498792
Great. Some minor criticism in independent news, but no actual change in voting habits are criticism when it actually matters.

>>941498899

You're a moron. Can't defend your argument, so you try an utterly transparent and idiotic deflection from that fact with this retarded "everyone is Russian" bullshit.

HDR Global Trading: A $100 Million Cryptocurrency Fine Erased

President Trump’s clemency extended to corporations as well. In 2025, he pardoned HDR Global Trading Limited, the operator of cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, erasing a $100 million fine for running what prosecutors said was a money laundering platform.

The pardon nullified all financial penalties. He also pardoned the platform's cofounders: Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed.

>>941499934
you sure bro? How did he make his money?

In 1981, Epstein was asked to leave Bear Stearns for, according to his sworn testimony, being guilty of a "Reg D violation".[51][38][37] Even though Epstein departed abruptly, he remained close to Cayne and Greenberg and was a client of Bear Stearns

Reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted in 2022 of submitting false documents to secure over $30 million in fraudulent loans and concealing millions in income to evade taxes. Both received lengthy prison sentences, but President Trump’s 2025 pardon wiped their records clean and canceled all remaining financial penalties, including millions owed to banks and the IRS.

Should have executed him. Also should have razed the south after the war. Executed every last white person down there, handed the farms & plants over to the workers, and supported them with interstate contracts.

Have some thoughts of your own, drone.

the power to pardon is the most absurd power like why does it even exist.

>>941502840
As a check on the power of the judiciary, to correct judicial error or too harsh penalization.
It's one of those "checks and balances" things to keep one branch from becoming too powerful.

>>941502952
except all it does is breed corruption

The pardons are only one facet of the insane corruption of this "administration". In normal times, congress would act through enumerated powers as a check under the constitution. These are not normal times.

Why does treason never prosper? For when it prospers, none dare call it treason.

>>941503290
Now take some time out and look up what other presidents have done so far as pardons go. Then realize you're an absolute cuck and are only "outraged" because you've been told to be, and have been ignoring this shit for decades.

Hamilton proposed it and the founders debated it quite a bit and some of them were opposed because of the potential for abuse by a tyrannical ruler. Madison said that the remedy in that case would be impeachment.
