Sioux Falls fish farm swindler granted clemency by President Joe Biden

Tobias 'The Tiger' Ritesman had been sentenced to prison for nine years

A Sioux Falls man who hornswoggled his investors out of more than a million dollars is among the recipients of clemency from President Joe Biden.

Tobias Ritesman, who called himself “The Tiger,” will get a reprieve on his nine-year prison sentence starting Dec. 22 — in time for Christmas. Ritesman was among 1,500 people whom the Biden administration granted clemency to as the one-term president prepares to depart office. It was the largest number of pardons and clemency granted in one day by a president.

There was no reasoning given about why The Tiger was among them.
