Years in prison is not a slap on the wrist.

Years in prison is not a slap on the wrist.
- qbasic_forever 4y agoShe hasn't been sentenced yet. We don't know what the terms of her deal are but they almost certainly involve leniency in the sentencing. Her lawyer likely tried to make a case that the big bad evil SBF sexually manipulated her into committing fraud and actually she's the real victim here.
- dclusin 4y agoLeniency is a relative term. It's relative to the size of the harm, number of victims, her centrality to it, etc. If there's a for sure bet to be made here, it's that she will be spending many years in prison for this. Just not her whole life. That's what leniency here means.
- howinteresting 4y agoI think she'll probably do 36 months or so. Not nothing but also not life-destroying.
- akerl_ 4y agoHow are you calculating that?

(this case is also being prosecuted by SDNY) and a general expectation that she won't go scot free (so not just 21 days) but also that SBF is the one they really want to put away.
- foogazi 4y agoWhy not both ?
- dclusin 4y agoAlso the thing to consider as well is that any management level trust position in a white collar setting is off limits to her for many years after that as well. On account of people being slow to entrust ex-cons with responsibility.
- qbasic_forever 4y agoShe'll make way, way, way more money selling her tv/movie rights to Apple or whoever makes the definitive documentary-drama on the matter. Like 'F you, never work again' money.
