Ross Ulbricht - the infamous Silk Road guy:
1. Arrested in 2013.
2. Sentenced in 2015.
3. First unsuccessful appeal in 2017.
4. The case reached the Supreme Court and was denied in 2018.
So - 5 years. Fewer than Assange spent in the embassy.

- formerly_proven 3y agoI don't actually understand why people who were convicted on overwhelming preponderance of evidence so often waste everyone's time with appeals.
- zirgs 3y agoIf you're in prison for life it's not like there's anything better to do. They can't increase your sentence anyway.
