I wonder if he is going to be able to launder and cash out whatever crypto he squirreled away. His finances are probably going to be closely watched.

Starting a business that accepts crypto payments is going to be a tell.

He has admitted his wrong doings and made efforts to change whilst in prison. I doubt he will go straight back to a life even remotely close to before. He was doing good in prison for other inmates and I imagine he will continue doing the same now he has this second chance.

does he even need to launder it ? The pardon may cover any proceeds given Trump described it as "a full and unconditional pardon"

If he’s smart he’ll go Jordan Belfort style and make money with book, speaking, and movie deals.

What the future holds for someone who was pardoned is likely decided based on very different rationalization compared to how one acts while serving a lifetime prison sentence.

Pardoned from the crimes convicted of? Or pardoned from any crime. I found the Biden pardon to be particular egregious because of how vague it was.

That's the old way of doing things.

Now it's all about podcasts, energy drinks and crypto coin rug-pulls.

Whilst I understand your point of view that the change in circumstances can change how someone decides to act, I don't believe there is much history to show someone who gained a surprising second chance outside of prison has gone back to their previous life.

Of course, there will be an outlier. I didn't state no history. One person doing wrong after being released shouldn't mean no one gets released.

No but recidivism should be factored into such a decision.

It's vindication of political violence that's the problem. If political violence is sanctioned, then there is no law.

I'm wondering that too. I think there's three options: he either has secret money hidden away, is going to get a cushy job in tech by some fan, or he's going to be working as a walmart greeter in 3 years.

Honestly I'm hoping he gets an X account so I can follow him and see which it is lol
