The White Collar Support Group™ Featured in CoinTelegraph

Most white collar offenders struggle with challenges that rarely make the headlines - like clearing criminal records and gaining access to basic financial services.
That’s where the White Collar Support Group™ comes in. The organization is making waves by offering something that’s in short supply for many former offenders: a real shot at starting over.
They don't just offer reliable, real-time information and peer support for those navigating the criminal justice system; they’re tackling the complex issues of expungement (the process of clearing a criminal record), and fighting against debanking (where banks refuse service to those with a criminal history).
As William Livolsi highlights in this article in CoinTelegraph:
“Whether it was President Trump or former President Biden, the clemency process hasn’t felt like it follows a clear, merit-based system for some time. It’s become more about who you know rather than about a fair, structured process.”
He continues:
"For people without political connections or media attention, it feels like their chances are slim. Some still hold out hope that President Trump might grant clemency to more white-collar individuals, but the unpredictability of the system makes it tough to have confidence in the process or the outcome."
Access to banking services is essential for rebuilding lives post conviction, but many face rejection from financial institutions simply because of their past.
“Debanking [...] is a huge issue that doesn’t get enough attention. People with a conviction history, especially in white collar cases, often find themselves shut out of the financial system entirely.”
While high-profile cases grab attention, they don’t address the broader issue: How to ensure everyone has a fair shot at rebuilding? It’s not just about pardons and clemency - it’s about practical support, fair policies, and access to financial tools that most take for granted.
With an ongoing commitment to advocacy and systemic change, Progressive Prison Ministries and the White Collar Support Group champion the post-conviction relief initiatives of Federal Expungement Reform and the Right to Banking.
