Joe Lewis received a presidential pardon from Donald Trump for insider trading offenses he pleaded guilty to earlier this year. The pardon was granted to facilitate Lewis' medical treatment and family visits, following his admission of sharing confidential corporate information that resulted in significant profits for others. Lewis, who previously owned Tottenham Hotspur and has an estimated fortune of $6.8 billion, has been residing in the Bahamas since avoiding prison after being sentenced to probation and fines for conspiracy and securities fraud.
