> The Milken Center's first major research project

Would this be convicted financial fraudster Michael Milken?

You know…the guy who was indicted for racketeering and securities fraud in an insider trading investigation?

Who was sentenced to ten years in prison, fined $600 million, and permanently barred from the securities industry by the Securities and Exchange Commission?

And who was pardoned by President Donald Trump on February 18, 2020?

I wish we didn’t allow swindlers and crooks to make billions and then reinvent themselves as celebrity philanthropists. Especially when that involves getting a pardon from a criminal like Trump.
