I'm not sure about seeing a chart of existing cases and illicit proceeds, but what is available is the United States Sentencing Guidelines §2B1.1. [0] The value amounts increase exponentially, while the points, which correspond to length of sentence, increase linearly. So, like the other poster said, go big. Take the base offense level for the crime, add the points in the chart for the dollar amount, and then reference the Sentencing Table in §5A [1]. Levandowski and other folks with no criminal history will be in column 1 of the chart. Keep in mind that this is only a guideline, and the judge is not bound by it. Let me know if you have any other questions!
To demonstrate:

Edit: This isn't meant to encourage anyone to commit a crime of any magnitude. Doing that would likely violate the terms of my probation.

- gowld 7y agoWell, the username, maybe not the commenter. Cnat ask for a better authority in matters of escaping punishment for heinous crimes. Religion-based hate speech, terroristic threats and Conspiracy to commit religious-based terroristic mass murder got less punishment than stealing economic value from a top-10 richest organization in America.
- garrettgrimsley 7y agoI had time to read the US Sentencing Guidelines cover to cover during my period of incarceration. If you don't trust my numbers then feel free to check the USSG for yourself, they're taken directly from the sources that I listed. That article refers to me, but you'd learn more about who this commenter is by reading my comment history (or asking me directly, I'm right here) instead of only that news story.
- autonoshitbox 7y agoNo doubt your numbers are accurate.
