President Trump commuted the sentence of Ponzi scheme mastermind Marian Morgan, releasing her after less than half her 33-year sentence and eliminating the restitution owed to victims. Former pardon officials report that traditional DOJ vetting has been abandoned for a "cottage industry" where pardons are obtained directly through the White House.

The Times UK reports Colorado pig farmer John Long was at home when he got the message that Marian Morgan, a scammer who robbed $20 million from him and thousands of other investors through a Ponzi scheme, was being released from prison less than halfway through her 33-year sentence.

“It was not for good behavior or because she had paid her victims back,” reports the Times. “Morgan was being released because President Trump had commuted her sentence.”

This, reports the Ties, also released the convicted scammer from the restitution payments she owed her victims.

Long, an 80-year-old Trump voter, called the newly freed Morgan “criminally insane,” and warned she’s only “going to suck money out of somebody” else.
