The canceled actions include federal investigations, enforcement lawsuits, prior settlements, and other accountability measures for alleged lawbreaking. Sectors that have benefited most are banks and finance (51), tech (28), and cryptocurrency and fintech (26). The 212 canceled enforcement actions include:

80 closed investigations (including 10 criminal investigations);

67 dismissed enforcement lawsuits the federal agencies were actively litigating (including 10 criminal cases); and

54 canceled consequences in which the Trump administration terminated or reversed enforcement actions that were resolved before his second term, including 14 pardons of corporations and executives and five canceled corporate leniency deals.


“Trump’s retreat from law enforcement against corporate crime is a signal to Big Business that if you’re big enough, rich enough, and connected enough with Trump’s inner circle, there are no consequences for breaking the law,” said Rick Claypool, a research director for Public Citizen and author of the report.

Oh look more dark enlightenment things! This is all very cool and good

I hope next admin brings these back up. This seems very corrupt and potentially illegal, as well.
