Carson has good reason to help his "best friend" stay out of prison.  His "best friend" is also a business associate of Carson's and the good doctor and his wife have prospered nicely in this business association:

 

"Carson and Costa have long been tight. They vacation together, and Carson holidays at an Italian resort villa owned by Costa's company. Costa is president of the Pittsburgh chapter of the Ben Carson Scholars Fund, which awards $1,000 college scholarships to students who demonstrate good character and strong academics. And Costa's real estate development firm helps to oversee a lucrative investment for Carson and his wife, one that last year netted the Carsons between $200,000 and $2 million, according to the GOP candidate's financial disclosure forms."

"Carson, who retired from medicine in 2013 and has spent recent years giving speeches and selling books, is worth at least $8 million. A significant portion of his wealth comes from companies tied to Costa's real estate firm that own a lucrative property in the Pittsburgh area. The Carson campaign did not respond to a request for comment about his business relationship with Costa. But Carson's spokesman Doug Watts told the Associated Press: "I will confirm they are best friends and that they do hold business investments together."
