There is nothing he could say or do to stay out of prison right now. He will certainly receive a very long sentence. His handler might be dangling the possibility of an early release on "good" behavior, or a less appealing result on "bad" behavior. He'll still be young in a decade. His handler might be lying to him, but the Epstein case was very recent so for now SBF has to believe. He might be dumb but he's not naïve enough to believe in USA justice system.
