As a result of Edwardsâ legal problems, her daughter lost her
horse, Diva, which the family could no longer afford to board. Her
supporters are raising money for the family online and are asking
President Joe Biden to issue a pardon.
When Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards first suspected wrongdoing, she went to her superior at the U.S. Department of Treasuryâs Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. She then complained to the agencyâs inspector general, filed a whistleblower complaint and ultimately went to Congress.
