Can’t wait to be 75 and read the newspaper seeing he just got released

  He will get out much sooner.

    So if he's sentenced to 40 years in federal court ... (this is federal court, right? I forgot) Fed doesn't do parole. Best you can get typically is time for good behavior for like 15% reduction in length. But there's a good chance he doesn't get sentenced to 40 years, that's just what the prosecutor asks for. We dunno yet.

      The minimum for federal sentences is that you have to serve 2/3.

        It’s 85%

          Maybe the next president will pardon him for some bitcoin.

          You're right, my mistake.

      A federal inmate can theoretically get presidential clemency. Obama granted almost 2000 clemencies. Biden, so far, about a dozen + 6500 for simple possession of MJ. Trump was in between with something over 200.

        I guess that's a relevant point. He might be able to buy a pardon or clemency.

  You really think he will do the whole sentance? I will be shocked if he sees more than 5.

    Federal prison sentences don't offer a lot of opportunities for early release--you get to shave of 54 days per year of served time, or in other words, he might be able to get out 7 years early were he sentenced for 50 years. The only way he'll serve less than 5 years is if Trump is elected president and decides to pardon him because no one should go to prison merely for defrauding people out of billions of dollars.

    Do you think he'll get a sentence that short, or that one of the next two presidencies will pardon him?
