# Adriana Camberos **Adriana Camberos** is a San Diego South Bay businesswoman convicted in two separate federal fraud cases. In 2016 she and her then-husband were convicted of a conspiracy to sell millions of bottles of **counterfeit 5-Hour Energy** shots; she was sentenced to 26 months, and [[Donald Trump]] commuted that sentence in 2021. In 2024 she and her brother were convicted in a separate **wholesale-goods fraud** that involved lying to manufacturers to buy groceries and other goods at deep discounts under false pretenses about resale destinations. On **January 15, 2026, Trump granted her a full pardon** — his second act of clemency for her — as part of the [[Trump 2025 Pardon Spree]]. Camberos is a distinctive case within the spree: a **repeat recipient** of Trump clemency across two unrelated fraud convictions, illustrating how the pardon power can be deployed serially for the same individual without any institutional check. ## Cross-references - Clemency event: [[Trump 2025 Pardon Spree]] - Mechanism: [[Pardons as Currency]] - Accountability frame: [[Elite Impunity]]
