It seems Hunter is on the end of his rope, even his top associates might be turning him in.
Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s longtime business partner is making an unorthodox bid to avoid prison for defrauding a native American tribe of roughly $60 million is now seeking a plea deal, the latest report confirms.
For nearly four years, Archer has avoided sentencing after being convicted in summer 2018 of two counts of felony securities fraud for a bond scheme that fleeced an indigent Indian tribe of millions of dollars, appealing all the way to the Supreme Court in a failed effort to overturn his conviction.
Reporter Vince Quill of WLT made some speculation:
I am willing to bet that Archer knows more than a few things about Hunter Biden’s business dealings, and it wouldn’t be farfetched to think that he could potentially volunteer this information in return for a reduced sentence.
After all, this type of thing happens all the time. White-Collar criminals do not live by some hardened criminal code that centers around keeping your mouth shut—they sing like canaries when faced with the prospect of doing a hard times…
Here are some more details on Archer:
Just going through some Hunter docs here. Can confirm that he got $83,333.33 p/m from Burisma and also that as of December 2016, it was not being shared with Devon Archer. That tends to back up that cutting Devon half his Burisma pay was part of some deal after Devon was charged.

Just The News reported:
Archer “has lived with the impact on his family, including his three young children who have been traumatized by their father’s prosecution and conviction, which have become matters of national headlines and presidential politics by virtue of Mr. Archer’s association with people of prominence,” the memo noted.
“And, relatedly, Mr. Archer has watched the reputation and career he built over decades fall apart around him as he has faced a near constant onslaught of vitriolic media attention.”
All that trauma, the defense lawyers wrote, merits “that a non-custodial sentence will serve as sufficient punishment.”
“According to documents, Burisma paid at least $16.5 million in favor of Hunter Biden, Aleksander Kwasniewski, Alan Apter and Devon Archer.”
10% for the big guy… We already know about that.

Daily Mail provided a related piece on Hunter Biden’s business dealings:
Emails obtained by DailyMail.com show the president’s son teamed up with the former Kazakh prime minister Karim Massimov, now facing charges of high treason, to try to pull off a $120million pipeline deal after similar ventures had faced opposition from Western energy firms.
There is no indication Massimov’s charges are connected to Hunter’s pipeline deal.
