  I'm very surprised Trump has not pardoned him.

    No money has entered his bank account (yet) to facilitate that.

  It's a similar story to Madoff in that if you upset enough people with money, then you go to jail.

    Yes, the only way for justice to reach criminals with money is when the people they wronged have even more money.

  He never was charged with hiring illegal or undocumented workers. He did the US white collar sin of stealing from other rich people. He could have stolen from the poors (read: bottom 99%) and got away with it. He targeted the top 1%, and well, yeah.

    We know what you're saying is true because Wells Fargo execs were originally charged with penalties for opening accounts on behalf of customers who didn't ask for them, and then those customers were charged overdraft and inactive account fees: https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2017-08-31/wells-fargo-estimates-35-million-accounts-impacted-by-scandal https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2017-08-3... And then this year, those Wells Fargo exec penalties were reduced to a mere pittance. https://occ.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2025/nr-occ-2025-37.html https://occ.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2025/nr-occ-202... This also coincided with some major donations from Wells Fargo to our current president's inaugural parade. Quite a coincidence. https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/05/02/trump-wells-fargo-inauguration-donation/ https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/05/02/trump-wells-fargo-ina...

  I didn’t literally mean zero it’s more the general punishment is light for white collar crime.
