- sebzim4500 4y ago11 years is quite a long time and seems suitable for scamming some idiots out of their money. IMO the reason it seems low is that people get such unreasonably long sentences for doing far less.
- stametseater 4y ago> suitable for scamming some idiots out of their money. Agreed. Of course she deserves more prison time for scamming the patients, but she wasn't convicted for that.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> 11 years is quite a long time And 11 federal years is a longer sentence than 11 years in most state systems, since there is much less opportunity to serve less than a full sentence in the federal system (short of executive pardon/commutation). There’s very limited good conduct time, but no systematic parole eligibility and early release.

- adrr 4y agoStealing tens of millions from VC funds that have multi billion dollar portfolios. Thats the scope. Compared to stealing catalytic converter off someone making $40k a year and who has $2,000 in the bank and will need to spend half their savings to replace their catalytic converter.
