And he has been and continues to make fun of the investigators, publicly mocking investigators and sending small amounts from the fraudulent wallets to investigators.

Crazy world

If he "invests" some of his funds ... could get a pardon.

knowitnone3 7 hours ago | parent | next [-]

with that dirtbag, anybody can get a pardon - even illegal immigrants and all they need is a dollar

Tbf, accepting a pardon is legally admitting guilt per SCOTUS and disgorgement would allow the funds to be sized

Dr. Fauchi pardon comes to mind. I doubt that his accepting of pardon was an admission of guilt. He wasn't even charged, so how can he admit the guilt?

And i think that similar preemptive pardon here, without charge and thus any guilt admission, wouldn't allow the fund seizure.

It was though. It wasn’t a conditional “everyone but Facui because some people liked him” thing.

He lied under oath about his knowledge of gain of function at the Wuhan lab. He is guilty of at least that.

In theory. Do you really think that would happen in the current ecosystem?

The one thing the government will not tolerate is embarrassment. There's no way he avoids a long prison sentence.

He’s reaping what he saw. Things aren’t looking good for him nor his father, a lesson both of them will painfully learn from. Father career is possibly over.

You’re a hell of an optimist.

I’d say that it’s just as likely that the pardon sharpie is being readied, just as soon as the super PAC donation clears.

Put it into Trump's coin as a donation

Plenty of people would happily flush their career down the drain to run away with their family and $90M

I guess so but what about when you get caught and get nothing?

lazide 2 hours ago | parent | next [-]

Just like many people are optimists in thinking criminals will get consequences, criminals are often optimists in thinking they won’t get consequences.

Both have cherry-picked their life experiences to support this view.

if you get caught. just saw a video on a couple who stole a Brinks armor car; disappeared into Europe with new identities; never caught until female turned herself in. Not everybody gets caught.

lupire 7 hours ago | parent [-]

Is that same or different from the gang who robbed an armored car for about $100M worth of goods, and ICE stopped the prosecution and deported one of the robbers, before the stolen goods were recovered?

Pretty sure they'll both be fine as long as they still have access to that money.

He and his son should be in jail. This is criminal; whether it's theft or criminal negligence.

paulpauper 9 hours ago | parent | prev [-]

the feds haven't even acknowledged there was a theft. it's possible they still don't know or somehow don't have the evidence to bring charges

caminante 8 hours ago | parent | next [-]

Or this is a false accusation.

I don't have the knowledge to sanity check the claims, but I would've figured someone would be getting rolled by now. I recall that the dad was scrubbing socials along with the son, but that could be token harassment.

big_youth 7 hours ago | parent [-]

They did something, how else could the son flex watches worth 6 figures.

caminante 6 hours ago | parent [-]

Likely? Yes.

Watches? You can also be right. Though, I don't think you need $90 million to spend <$1 million on a watch to splurge.

wmf 8 hours ago | parent | prev [-]

The feds won't say anything until after they arrest the father and son. Obviously there is an investigation going on but it takes more than a few days.
