It's less than some people got for marijuana offenses. There really ought to be a federal death penalty for egregious white collar crime.

- Gibbon1 4y agoI think for financial crimes for every $10k you should have to spend 1 day in jail.
- bpodgursky 4y agoThere are literally 0 people currently in federal prison because of marijuana ~offenses~ EDIT: possession.

- giarc 4y agoI think people are just referring to different things. >Biden's pardons announced Oct. 6 affect about 6,500 people convicted of cannabis possession at the federal level. None remain in prison. >Biden's pardon does not affect some 3,000 people convicted of higher level marijuana crimes who remain in federal prisons
- bpodgursky 4y agoOk, of possession I should have said > Biden's pardons announced Oct. 6 affect about 6,500 people convicted of cannabis possession at the federal level. None remain in prison. Without a felony on their record, they won't be tripped up when applying for a job or trying to rent an apartment.
- infamouscow 4y agoBiden pardoned all federal offenses of simple marijuana possession, but it doesn't apply going forward. The DoJ's prosecutors will happily continue charging people with possession of a schedule I substance until the DEA changes the scheduling.

- brohee 4y agoIt's federal so she'll do at least 85% of it tho.
- dubcee349 4y agoShe also doesn't have to surrender until april 27th. Its nice to be wealthy.
