President Trump has commuted the seven-year prison sentence of private equity executive David Gentile, who defrauded over 10,000 investors of around $1.6 billion. Gentile was convicted of securities and wire fraud last year and was just days into serving his prison sentence. According to prosecutors, Gentile’s victims were described as small business owners, farmers, veterans, teachers and nurses.
