prosecutors will accept a much smaller sentence
Not sure what you mean there. The prosecution recommends a sentence to the judge. They are agreeing to recommend a shorter sentence than they would have if she fought.
Judges (especially federal) are despots and don’t care at all about prosecutors or what prosecutors want. The judge will want to know exactly how much she blew on bad investments, how much she stole for herself, and how useful her cooperation has been. Then, using the sentencing guidelines and the United States Probation and Pretrial Services Office Presentencing report, the judge will impose a sentence.
