A longtime associate of President Joe Biden's son was sentenced on Feb. 28 to one year and one day in jail for defrauding a Native American tribe.

Devon Archer was convicted for participating in a scheme to bilk the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation of the Oglala Sioux Tribe of tens of millions of dollars. Archer was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams, an Obama nominee who split the ground between prosecutorial and defense sentencing recommendations.  Prosecutors asked for 30 months in prison, arguing for the same sentence as the one handed down to Bevan Cooney, a co-defendant. Prosecutors noted that there were 10 or more victims of the scheme, which caused a loss in excess of $25 million, and said guidelines would lead to a sentence of between 108 and 135 months, but decided not push for a longer sentence because of a "need to avoid unwanted sentencing disparities."

Abrams told the courtroom that the fraud was too serious for a sentence of no time behind bars but that the COVID-19 pandemic led her to give a shorter sentence than the one prosecutors sought... Abrams also ordered Archer to forfeit some $15.7 million and pay over $43 million in restitution.Abrams is the same judge that tossed Archer's conviction in 2018... an appeal to the Supreme Court from Archer was rejected in late 2021.  Archer has been linked with Hunter Biden, President Biden's son, for years.

Archer and the others involved in the scheme used Hunter Biden's name in convincing the Native American tribe to invest assets, and emails show Hunter Biden was involved with Archer's company. Hunter Biden was never charged in the defrauding operation, and his lawyer has told news outlets that those who were "invoked and used Hunter's name—without his knowledge—to lend their business venture more credibility." Hunter Biden is currently under investigation by federal prosecutors. All but one other defendant in the fraud scheme has been sentenced.

If this guy (I don't really want to see this crud's face) gets off so lightly, imagine what Hunter and "the big guy" would get?  Probably nothing.  Today on Bitchute a team of Ukrainian investigators named Biden the Bitch - Joe Biden as an accomplice in stealing $millions from Ukraine citizens in a massive tariffs scheme.
