Nikola founder Trevor Milton says granted full pardon by Trump
Nikola founder Trevor Milton says granted full pardon by Trump
quote:
Reuters) - Trevor Milton, the founder of bankrupt electric and hydrogen-powered truck maker Nikola who was convicted of fraud, has been pardoned by U.S. President Donald Trump, Milton said in a social media post on Thursday.
Milton was sentenced to four years in prison in 2023 after a jury found him guilty of lying to investors about the company's technology.
"Today I was issued a full and unconditional pardon by Donald Trump himself. He called me personally to tell me," Milton said in an Instagram post.
The White House and Nikola did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
According to federal prosecutors, Milton misled investors by stating that Nikola had built a pickup from the "ground up," that it had developed its own batteries even though he knew it was buying them, and that it had early success creating a "Nikola One" semi-truck that he knew did not work.
Milton was convicted in October 2022 on one count of securities fraud and two counts of wire fraud, and acquitted on an additional securities fraud count.
The company last month filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and would pursue a sale of its assets.

Did anybody go to jail for the Solyndra $500 million scam?

Did anyone go to jail for the big Ponzi scheme? The one where money paid in was supposed to be in a fund invested to later payout. The one where your employer and you had no choice but to contribute. The one the government raided for money time after time to the point they are using a pay as you go model. The one forecast to go bankrupt in 2033.
Was anyone arrested?

Trump has some swampy people around him, unfortunately
He needs to stop listening to the tech bros and start listening to JD

JD is just as swampy as most around Trump, and comically incompetent on top of that.

I don't think you understand what the swamp is, in political terms.

Curious as to the reasoning behind this pardon.

Yeah, putting tampons in boys' bathrooms was the craziest idea ever.
Oh, wait....

Another elitist who is above the law.

Damn that's good news. Always felt he was given the shaft.

I’m sure the $1.8MM he and his wife donated to Trump’s campaign in October had nothing to do with it
Oh, and Pam Bondi’s brother was his attorney.

No, No, we like Trump because he can't be bought.
His crypto coin was also on the up and up and had nothing to do with his personal wealth enrichment.
He is selfless and does everything for the betterment of America.
