Convicted Fraudster Trump, 79, Frees Man Convicted of $1.6B Fraud

President Donald Trump sprung a fellow convicted fraudster from prison this week after the man had served less than two weeks of a seven-year sentence for a $1.6 billion Ponzi scheme.

David Gentile first reported to prison on Nov. 14 following his sentencing in May for using funds controlled by his company GPB Capital to scam around 10,000 investors over a period of several years, the New York Times reports.

He was freed Wednesday, after just 12 days behind bars.
