Jailed reality TV star Joe Exotic rips Trump Chrisley pardons

(The Hill) – “Tiger King’s” Joe Exotic is voicing his frustration with President Trump again for pardoning reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley of their fraud and tax evasion charges and not offering him the same.

“You are either rich and connected or your poor and being trafficked by the system,” Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado, said in one of many posts criticizing the clemency, which were uploaded on his Instagram account on Tuesday.

“I guess being innocent is not enough in America,” he wrote in another post, this one shared on social platform X. “They all admitted to perjury on world television but yet I’m left to die of cancer before I can get any help.”

1. Mr Exotic was sentenced to 21 years for a 'murder to hire' plot. It's not quite tax evasion, but.....

The target was a woman named Carole Baskin, who is also involved with the 'big cats' and accused him of animal abuse, among other crimes.

Conviction and imprisonment

As a result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Marshals Service, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Law Enforcement, and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation Exotic was arrested and arraigned on charges of attempting to hire two hitmen to kill Baskin and of violating the Lacey Act and the Endangered Species Act.

In April 2019, a federal jury found him guilty on two counts of hiring someone to murder Baskin in Florida, eight counts of violating the Lacey Act by falsifying wildlife records, and nine counts of violating the Endangered Species Act by killing five tigers and selling tigers across state lines.[87][70] He was sentenced to 22 years (^) in prison on January 22, 2020, and was incarcerated at Federal Medical Center, Fort Worth (FMC Fort Worth).
