1. Not money laundering anti semitism
Yoni ,   Jerusalem   (12.21.17)
Rubashkin was put in jail for faking documents to the bank to get a loan. He then paid back the loan and the bank did not loose any money from that.
When the state prosecuted him they colluded against him with the judge and decided his outcome before seeing the evidence.
In the end he got 27 years for faking a document to the bank despite repaying the line of credit loan related to the game documents in full.

He never laundered money and ynet could be sued for slander for false reporting

2. Laundering and hiring illegal workers
Jacob ,   Holon   (12.21.17)
27 years is too much. He didnt kill anyone nor scammed people. He faked a document, he hired illegals and thats it. Trump made a perfect decision to commute the sentance not because he is a religous guy or that nonsense, just because 27 years is too harsh. 3 maybe appropiate.
3. Re Rubashkin
Esther Cohen ,   Bnei Brak   (12.21.17)
ברוך השם and thanks greatly to President Trump
regarding Mr. Rubashkin
4. Fake News
Tuvia ,   Englewood USA   (12.21.17)
Rubushkin was not convicted of money laundering. YNETnews should change the headline ASAP. Try to be informative.
5. This guy's a disgusting, 1st class crook, ganef embarassment
Rafi ,   US   (12.21.17)
who should be sharing a cell with Bernie Madoff. He was released purely due to political pressure.

Next thing his demented supporters will have you believe is that he is a tzadik.

In fact he violated numerous laws, not just $ laundering, but severely MISTREATED 100's of his employees primarily impoverished Mexican workers...
6. deeply religious man
Hana ,   Europe   (12.22.17)
deeply religious man will never steal because this is what Torah forbid
we are all human and can make mistakes but stealing in this way wasn't mistake
said that I think 8 years is enough in Aerica rapepist, even murderers get out after 2 years
another example how USA value more money than human life
7. Rubaskin ?
Tomer ,   Jerusalem   (12.24.17)
So an "deeply religious," man as to revert to "fake invoicing" to get more credit for a meat processor,is found guilty ,sentenced and now trump let hiim of the hook.
The man is a "crook" , brings annother shame on religious jews. Maybe mr.trump with his connections to mafia real estate likes the meat mafia too.maybe he supplied the meat for "trumps super rumsteaks"(annother trump buiness failure)
8. Hana, you are totally ignorant about Rubashking case
moishe ,   golutsk   (12.25.17)
Hana, please educate yourself with the facts about Rubashking case first, before spewing stupid and hateful remarks. You make yourself sound stupid and ignorant.
