Trump just wiped clean another white-collar conviction. David Gentile, the former investment manager who went down for scamming investors, walked free after the president commuted his sentence. This follows a pattern - Trump's been handing out clemency like candy to people caught in financial fraud cases. Gentile's case is just the newest name on a growing list of business-related pardons coming out of this administration. The move raises eyebrows about who gets a second chance and why.

If white-collar fraudsters can be pardoned, why isn't it my turn?

This is just ridiculous, financial fraudsters can turn things around, the rules of the game for the rich are just different.

White-collar fraudsters are walking out of prison one by one, this feels just like those large investors who do rug pulls in web3, is it true that whoever has money can turn their fortunes around?

According to on-chain data and historical governance cases, this centralized allocation mechanism of judicial power is essentially a real-world failure of Token weighted voting. It is worth noting that when power is concentrated in the hands of a single Node, the entire system's censorship resistance collapses directly.

The white-collar criminals have won again, this time it's the turn of the investment scammer? Laughing to death, clemency has become candy for the rich, while we, the losers, don't even have a way to eat it.
