The game recognize game pardon cycle
By 
Another con artist who ruined thousands of lives has been given a get out of jail free card by the master:
President Trump has set free a private equity executive who had served less than two weeks of a seven-year sentence for his role in what prosecutors described as a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands of victims.
David Gentile, 59, a onetime resident of Nassau County, N.Y., had reported to prison on Nov. 14, and was released on Wednesday, according to Bureau of Prisons records and a White House official who was not authorized to discuss the matter.
Mr. Gentile and a co-defendant, Jeffry Schneider, were convicted in August 2024 of securities and wire fraud charges, and sentenced in May. Unlike a pardon, the commutation granted to Mr. Gentile will not erase his conviction.
Mr. Schneider, who was sentenced to six years, does not appear to have received clemency from Mr. Trump.
There is no serious question that Bernie Madoff would be a free man now had he made it to Trump’s second term.
