An 88-year old commercial real-estate magnate and Bill Richardson campaign contributor convicted of embezzling and stock manipulation is among 19 people who received executive clemency this year from New Mexico's outgoing governor.
Eddie Gilbert, who in the 1950s was called "the boy wonder of Wall Street," served two prison sentences for crimes committed in New York decades ago.

Edie has been convicted of and/or pleaded guilty to almost 40 Felony crimes including securities fraud, stock manipulation and embezzlement.
Someone needs to do some serious research & write a book about Richardson.
He has dirt on his hands from waaaaay back.
He is also the person who whisked Monica out of Washington DC & got her placed at the UN when the blue dress showed up.
He is absolutely without morals & ethics.
Rich tapestry for a tell-all book.
