How a $30 Million Pardon Scheme Failed Even Before It Got to Trump

How a $30 Million Pardon Scheme Failed Even Before It Got to Trump

The article describes an alleged $30 million pardon scheme that failed before reaching former President Trump. The plan involved a self-proclaimed "connector for the MAGA era" and a former child actor-turned-crypto enthusiast, who aimed to secure a presidential pardon for Bitcoin advocate Roger Ver and profit from the arrangement. The scheme was hatched over a lobster dinner in Puerto Rico, but it never came to fruition. The article highlights the audacious nature of the plan and the individuals involved, but it ultimately did not succeed in securing the desired pardon or generating the intended millions in profit. The article serves as a cautionary tale about the risks and challenges of attempting to influence the presidential pardon process for personal gain.
