Here are just two of the victim impact statements in the David Gentile sentencing memo.
We need to find a way to start talking about the victim impact of Trump's crime endorsement wave.

![“The loss of retirement income has made a significant impact on our daily lives. Our
inability to meet our housing expenses necessitated in us taking on credit card debt to
maintain our home in which we provide housing for our handicapped son. You can
imagine the anxiety this has caused us in providing for his and our needs. We now
have over $100,000.00 in credit card debt in addition to the interest we have incurred
to allow us to maintain our mortgage and remain in our home. At the time of this
investment we had NO credit card debt! As elderly senior citizens at the age of 82 and
76 our ability to find additional income is extremely limited. We are now at a point of
looking at our belongings to sell to allow us to stay in our home. The emotional stress
of this has taken a fiscal and mental toll on our ability to function. We felt we planned
well for our retirement years and feel robbed by the actions of this crime.” D.E. DOJ0002356.
• “Since the GPB fraud stated, we have lost well over half of our family[’]s net worth
[and] a large portion of our income . . . At 74, I have been unable to retire now. My
wife [] has contracted cancer and has ongoing treatment. And our daughter [], who has
cerebral palsy, has had to ensure the ensuring stress from all of that.” M.F. DOJ0001930.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreifj3ulaoxnrnhbrk7z2gnegme22juwnwnj45xuwopak457jjg2kue)
