BitMEX was fined $100 million dollars for running what prosecutors called a money laundering platform.
Trump pardoned the company and its executives the same week that fine came due, a use of the pardon power that never existed before this presidency, since a pardon has always cleared a record, not erased a debt already scheduled for payment. He has made nine corporate pardons in total now, wiping out roughly $200 million dollars in fines, some of it money meant for actual victims.
