A federal appeals court ruled this week that a former business partner of Hunter Biden’s must face sentencing for his role in a scheme to defraud a Native American tribe in South Dakota.
The three-judge panel overturned a lower court’s decision to throw out charges against Devon Archer, the former Biden business associate.
Devon Archer will face sentencing on Jan. 21, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Wednesday.
Archer, who advised John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign, was convicted at trial on June 28, 2018 on conspiracy and securities fraud charges related to a scam involving a $60 million bond offering for the Wakpamni Lake Community Association, an affiliate of the Oglala Sioux Tribe.
Judge Ronnie Abrams, who handled the case, overturned Archer’s conviction on Nov. 15, 2018, saying there was insufficient evidence to show that Archer was aware of the bond fraud.
