- vkou 9y agoFrom the article, it seems that he's only been indicted for wire fraud. What would a likely outcome be? The statute caps sentencing at 20 years, but being a first-time offender, I doubt he will see anything of the sort.
- burgessct 9y agoYou are correct. The alleged Federal Crime he committed was forging the wire transfers. If he pleads out, I imagine he will be given a much reduced sentence and given his erasure of his online presence, it begs the question ... what's next?
