Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui gets 30 years in U.S. prison for fraud conviction

Guo said he came to the U.S. to destroy the Chinese Communist Party. But the judge said he instead diverted investor money to live lavishly.

Hopefully trump won't pardon Guo Wengui for being a billionaire.

Beware of avarice! It is the sin That hath no pardon either in death or here, For it means cruelty. Hatred and fear Enter the soul, and are the lords therein. The gold that gathers at the rich man's knees Is stored with curses and with dead men's bones, And women's cries and little children's moans, The harvest of ten thousand miseries. What needs it to be rich — only a soul, Deaf to the shaken tongue and blind to tears, The sordid patience of the sightless mole! Would'st thou thus waste the sacred span of years? Lock up the doors of life and break the key, The simple heart-touch with humanity?

Hillary Clinton

Funny how she's "innocent" when her pal controlled the FBI, but now it's "Hurry up and pardon her!" Guess she's not so innocent after all..

(via Britain - No Pardon for Alan Turing in 1952 Case - NYTimes.com)

In the centenary year of his birth, Alan Turing, the British mathematician and cryptanalyst regarded as one of the central figures in the development of the computer and artificial intelligence, has been denied a formal pardon by the government of Prime Minister David Cameron for his conviction in 1952 on charges of homosexuality, then a criminal offense in Britain. An e-mail petition for a pardon for Mr. Turing, who committed suicide by eating a cyanide-laced apple in 1954, when he was 41, has drawn worldwide support from scientists and others. But Tom McNally, a minister of state for justice, told the House of Lords that the Cameron government stood by the decision of previous governments not to grant a pardon for Mr. Turing’s conviction for gross indecency. Mr. McNally noted that the former prime minister, Gordon Brown, had issued “an unequivocal a posthumous apology” to Mr. Turing in 2009, but he said that Mr. Turing “would have known” that he was committing an offense under the law as it stood at the time.
