Prosecutors say that a convicted Ponzi schemer that Trump got out of prison defrauded people again. Trump's commutation of Weinstein's sentence was one of his final acts as president. Federal prosecutors said on Wednesday that shortly after Trump helped him get released, Weinstein concocted another scheme. Trump's commutation of Weinstein's sentence led to his release after serving less than eight years of a 24-year sentence. Prosecutors allege it did not take Weinstein very long to get back to defrauding investors.

☆ Convicted Ponzi schemer granted clemency by Trump charged with new Ponzi scheme

WASHINGTON — A New Jersey man who had his prison sentence for running a massive Ponzi scheme commuted by Donald Trump on the final day of his presidency was charged Wednesday with orchestrating a similar scheme. Eli Weinstein and four accomplices are accused of overseeing a new Ponzi scheme that prosecutors say has defrauded 150 victims out of more than $35 million. The first came in 2013, when he pleaded guilty to 45 counts of fraud and conspiracy for stealing over $200 million from investors. In 2015, he pleaded guilty in a second case, this time to committing wire fraud while he was on trial for the Ponzi scheme. Weinstein had served eight years of his 24-year prison sentence when Trump granted him clemency in 2021, as one of 143 people who received either pardons or commutations during Trump's final hours in office.
