Who wants to bet trump will pardon them once the ballroom gets a “donation” from these guys?

[–] comador@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Depends on how much he gets offered.

I was thinking Trump was upset he wasn't getting a cut....but guess the donation would assist with any issues from that so seems about right.

I absolutely 100% believe the shit out of this. Wonder if it's worth it?

He'll have bought a pardon in a month.

This would actually be a pretty safe polymarket bet, but I can't bring myself to do it.

Yih-Shyan Liaw, known as Wally; Ruei-Tsang Chang, known as Steven; and Ting-Wei Sun, known as Willy, were charged with conspiring to violate export control laws, smuggling goods from the US and conspiring to defraud the US.

Liaw, who co-founded Super Micro Computer and served on its board of directors, was arrested Thursday in California and released on bail. Sun, a contractor, is held awaiting a detention hearing. Chang, who worked in the Taiwan office of Super Micro, remains at large.

Super Micro Computer is not named in the indictment.
