I assume that is just the journalist summing up all of the possible maximum sentences as they usually do.
It's really hard to say. On one hand he's a privileged white guy. On the other he stole from a lot of rich people. Bernie Madoff was sentenced to 150 years, but in reality anything over 20 was a life sentence for him. I'm kind of expecting the court to throw the book at SBF simply because he was so brazen about it. When you get that far out of line people want to make an example out of you.
