Biden's Mass Clemency Sparks Outrage and Shock Nationwide
TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden has commuted the sentence of Nevin Shapiro, a former Miami Hurricanes booster involved in a $930 million Ponzi scheme and a major NCAA scandal. Shapiro, who was serving a 20-year sentence for securities fraud and money laundering, was among 1,499 non-violent offenders granted clemency. His actions led to significant sanctions against the University of Miami's football program. Shapiro had been on home confinement since the COVID pandemic, and his commutation reduces his sentence but does not erase his conviction.
