I do not consider the pardon granted by President Clinton as an eradication of past deeds -- but as closing a cycle of justice and as a humanitarian act.
"Marc Rich" was an international commodity/commodities Trader (finance)/trader, hedge fund manager, financier and businessman. Active in the spot market for crude oil, he became a commodities trader. He was best known for founding the commodities company Glencore and for being indicted in the United States on federal charges of tax evasion and illegally making oil deals with Iran during the Iran hostage crisis. He was in Switzerland at the time of the indictment and never returned to the United States. He received a controversial presidential pardon from President of the United States/U.S. President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001, Clinton's last day in office.
More Marc Rich on Wikipedia.Has been helping the Jewish people and Israel for many, many years in humanitarian causes, and helping with all he can do, not only his money, also with his connections when they were necessary. And what he was asking for was the help to support his plea for pardon so he could visit his daughter's grave, he could visit his father's grave, he could visit his family in New York.
