Martin Shkreli (also went through the New York district court) put together a pretty informative video on it.
It's pretty cut and dry - he's looking at about 45 points on the sentencing table. Not too long ago these were mandatory guidelines and as a result he'd be looking at life in prison.
Now a days these are recommendations and since he got pretty lucky with the judge they'll likely discount it 50ish %. So realistically he's looking at 20 years and with good behaviour he'll be out in 10.

- wanderingstan 3y agoI believe these are Federal charges, so there is no parole, thus no big reduction for good behavior. (Federal parole was eliminated in the 1980s)
- mandevil 3y agoIt is very difficult to get out of a federal sentence without serving at least 85% of it. That's with good-behavior credits.
- harambae 3y agoThe 85% number gets repeated around here a lot, but isn’t the full story for fed time. (Not that I’d expect software engineers to be experts on prison nuances) Just off the top of my head RDAP will get him 1 year off (he for sure qualifies) and then a halfway house is another year although not everybody loves those. I have no idea if he’d be able to pull off a 35b or not. But you get the idea, it’s not JUST time off for good behavior.
- HWR_14 3y agoFederal good behavior is 15% off (or 1/6, I forget which).
