Repeat Offender: Trump-Released Fraudster Faces New Charges

Eliyahu Weinstein, a man whose prison sentence was commuted by former President Donald Trump, has been charged in a new fraud scheme that allegedly cost investors millions of dollars. Weinstein, along with four others, is accused of falsely promising deals involving medical supplies for Ukraine. This comes after Weinstein had served time for a Ponzi scheme and real estate fraud that resulted in over $230 million in investor losses. The charges include wire fraud conspiracy and conspiracy to obstruct justice. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has also filed a civil complaint against Weinstein and the other individuals involved.
