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

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.
