Hunter Biden’s former business parter will face sentencing in a fraud case after a federal appeals court on Wednesday reinstated his conviction.
Devon Archer, a longtime business associate of Joe Biden’s son, was convicted in June, 2018 on charges related to his involvement in a scheme to defraud a Native American tribe.
The defendants, including Archer, are accused of pressuring the Wakpamni Lake Community Association, an affiliate of the Oglala Sioux Tribe to issue $60 million in economic-development bonds which the defendants then used for their own purposes, such as investing in their own businesses instead of investing it back into the tribe.
After his conviction, a federal judge in New York overturned Archer’s conviction later that year, saying the evidence was insufficient to prove that Archer was aware of the multi-million dollar bond fraud scheme.
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.”
Archer is scheduled to be sentenced on January 21.
Archer worked with Hunter Biden on various business ventures, including serving with the Democratic presidential nominee’s son on the board of a Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings.
Hunter Biden was appointed to Burisma’s board in 2014 while his father was vice president and resigned from the board in April of last year after his lucrative position on the board drew scrutiny.
In spring, 2016, Biden called on Ukraine to fire the prosecutor who had been investigating the energy company paying his son. The vice president threatened to withdraw $1 billion in U.S. military aid to Ukraine if the country did not fire the prosecutor, who was accused by the State Department and U.S. allies in Europe of being soft on corruption.

A deal that big, and with Hunter Bidens father Joe Biden in the Federal Government, everyone in “the office” knew about the fraud. And with a partner knowing, other partners also knew. Hunter Biden will soon be fitted for an orange jumpsuit, unless the democrats get elected and wipethe evience.
Where is this coming from that when a post is made at 10/11/2020 @ 11:10 A.M. shows as it was made at October 11, 2020 at 3:09 pm?
Let’s talk about the bull… that is going on.
1- black lives matter only when a criminal is killed by a cop, but daily all over the USA blacks are shooting blacks and black lives don’t seem to matter.
2- young white Americans are seeking socialism. What in the world are you thinking. Look at Venezuela, people are starving, can’t leave there homes without written permission. The freedom to protest will be taken away along with all of our hard fought rights.
3- in 8 years the Obama administration could not fix the economy, trump comes into power and the market breaks records even now in a pandemic.
4- the world respects the USA and it’s because of Trump. You don’t hear Putin saying the things he said about Obama .
I can go on and on, but at the end of the day , we need Trump for 4 more years
It’s amazing how Hunter isn’t held accountable as well.
Oh that’s right Hunter falls under Biden’s protection umbrella as usual where the Democratic Party has been protecting all dems crimes including friends and family.
If your names Biden your lyin’ and democrats will protect your criminal activity
