Background
Adriana Isabel Camberos (formerly known as Adriana Shayota) is a San Diego-area businesswoman. She previously received clemency from President Trump in January 2021 for a 2017 conviction related to a counterfeit 5-Hour Energy drink scheme.
The Case
In October 2024, less than four years after her first clemency grant, Camberos and her brother, Andres Enrique Camberos, were convicted by a federal jury in San Diego of wire fraud and conspiracy. The siblings operated several businesses, including Baja Exporting and Specialty Foods International, through which they executed a sophisticated "grocery diversion" fraud scheme. They lied to manufacturers, claiming they were purchasing wholesale groceries and consumer goods to be sold at a discount in Mexico or to U.S. prisons and rehabilitation facilities. Instead, they diverted the products and resold them at much higher prices to U.S. distributors. The scheme generated tens of millions of dollars in illegal profits, which the siblings used to fund a lavish lifestyle, including the purchase of luxury cars and several San Diego-area homes.
The Pardon
On January 15, 2026, President Trump granted Camberos a full pardon.
