I would defer you to the Department of War. It's also probably a decision for the president himself to make. As for your second question with respect to that pardon, He issued a commutation for Mr. Gentile, who's the former CEO and co-founder of GBP Capital Holdings. Unlike similar companies, GBP paid regular annualized distributions to its investors. In 2015, GBP disclosed to investors the possibility of using investor capital to pay some of these distributions rather than funding them from current operations. (20:26–20:34)
