I haven't yet found an article that pieces together the corrupt trial and sentencing as neatly as this. It took me a while to assemble it:

June 28, 2018: "ROBERT KHUZAMI, Attorney for the United States, Acting Under Authority Conferred by 28 U.S.C. § 515, announced that JOHN GALANIS, a/k/a “Yanni,” DEVON ARCHER, and BEVAN COONEY were each convicted today of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and securities fraud, following a five and half week trial before U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams. Mr. Khuzami said: “As a unanimous jury swiftly found, these defendants orchestrated a highly complex scheme to defraud a Native American community and multiple pension funds, all to corruptly bankroll their own personal and business interests." http://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/three-convicted-manhattan-federal-court-fraudulent-issuance-and-sale-more-60-million

November 15, 2018: "A federal judge on Thursday overturned the conviction of a New York man on charges that he helped run a scheme to defraud a Native American tribe and multiple pension funds through the issue of $60 million worth of tribal bonds. U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams in Manhattan ruled that the evidence at the trial earlier this year had not shown that the man, Devon Archer, knew that the bond issue was fraudulent, or that he received any personal benefit from it. Abrams said she was “left with an unwavering concern that Archer is innocent of the crimes charged.”" http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-crime-tribalbonds/u-s-judge-overturns-new-york-mans-conviction-in-tribal-bond-scheme-idUSKCN1NK341

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/03/way-bidens-different-biden-hunter-devon-archer-sentenced-yesterday-year-prison/

October 9, 2020: "The three-judge panel of the New York-based 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated Archer’s conviction on Wednesday, ruling that the lower court “abused its discretion in vacating the judgment and granting a new trial” and stating that Archer “knew at least the general nature and extent of the scheme and intended to bring about its success.”" http://www.nationalreview.com/news/hunter-bidens-former-business-partner-to-be-sentenced-after-court-revives-fraud-conviction/

March 3, 2022: "Hunter Biden’s old Yale buddy and corrupt business partner Devon Archer was sentenced to just one year in prison for defrauding a Native American Tribe out of $60 million in bonds." http://thedrilldown.com/newsroom/biden-buddy-very-lightly-slapped-on-wrist-gets-one-year-and-a-day-prison-sentence/

February 28, 2022: "The defendant, Devon Archer, was sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison by Manhattan Judge Ronnie Abrams, who said the crime was “too serious” to let him just walk. " http://nypost.com/2022/02/28/devon-archer-sentenced-for-role-in-hunter-biden-fraud-scheme/

Got that? The judge who tried but failed to set Devon Archer free in 2018 got the case again and handed him the lightest possible sentence, then issued a statement trying to make it sound tough.

Biden Buddy Very Lightly Slapped on Wrist, Gets One-Year and a Day Prison Sentence.

SCHWEIZER SAYS “THIS HARDLY APPEARS TO BE JUSTICE DONE. MORE LIKE SELECTIVE JUSTICE.”

Hunter Biden’s old Yale buddy and corrupt business partner Devon Archer was sentenced to just one year in prison for defrauding a Native American Tribe out of $60 million in bonds. Archer got off light —the prosecution wanted him to serve at least 30 months jail time.

“Archer, 47, appeared for his sentencing hearing at the Thurgood Marshall US Courthouse in Lower Manhattan, where Judge Ronnie Abrams also ordered him to forfeit $15,700,513 and pay $43,427,436 in restitution,” the Daily Mail reports.

Archer’s lawyer, Matthew Schwartz, plans to appeal, claiming Archer was “plainly kept in the dark” about the defrauding scheme and lost “a substantial amount of his own money.”

“Mr. Archer is obviously disappointed with today’s sentence, and intends to appeal. It is unfortunate that the judge, who has previously expressed concern that Mr. Archer is innocent of the crimes charged and reiterated that belief today, felt that she was constrained not to act on her independent assessment of the evidence,” Schwartz said in a statement after the sentencing.

People following the case closely who thought Archer’s conviction, if strict, may have signaled a possible flip on Hunter Biden, are certainly disappointed with this lenient sentence. Peter Schwezier, author of bestseller Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, says “this hardly appears to be justice done —it’s more like selective justice.”

And he’s right. Archer’s associates were handed stricter sentences —and Biden is safe, for now.

According to the Daily Mail, Hunter’s name is all over this case, even if he wasn’t the one on trial. Hunter’s name was used in literature promoting the scheme and was named as a witness.

“The defendants invoked and used Hunter’s name – without his knowledge – to lend their business venture more credibility,” attorney George Mesires said. “As soon as Hunter learned of the illegal conduct, and that his name was being used in this unauthorized and inappropriate manner, Hunter took immediate steps to ensure that his business interests would not be associated with the Burnham Group or with any of the defendants,’ Mesires added.

But we know, thanks to the infamous Hunter Biden laptop, that Biden was involved with Archer and the company, Burnham Financial Group, while Archer was defrauding one of the poorest Native American tribes in the nation.

According to the Daily mail, in September 2011, Archer wrote to Hunter encouraging him to meet Bevan Cooney, one of the first to be jailed ore scheme, telling his best friend: “I want to work with them” and “I want you to meet Chad [another business associate] and Bevan. Our type of guys.”

And in May 2014, Hunter wrote to Archer asking about their plan to sell his broker-dealer company Rosemont Seneca Partners to Burnham as part of their deal.

‘Need to map out Burnham play and begin to move BD [broker-dealer] and Advisory team in that direction w/o revealing too much before anything is certain,’ Hunter wrote.

“Archer replied, saying they may face difficulties with financial regulators – but that his main concern was getting paid.”

They sound like stand up, law-abiding gentlemen. If this is the kind of company he keeps, we only have one question: how much longer before the hammer is dropped on Hunter Biden?
