  I doubt that he's going to get the max sentence. I bet he'll be out in 10 years.

      Reminds me of the Fyre festival guy getting out of prison and trying to make it right by doing the festival again

    Is that just based on your feelings or have you applied the sentencing guidelines to get a good estimate?

      Relevant: https://www.popehat.com/2013/02/05/crime-whale-sushi-sentence-eleventy-million-years/ https://www.popehat.com/2013/02/05/crime-whale-sushi-sentenc... TL;DR: It won’t be the max.

        A few lawyers in the Popehat Cinematic Universe are saying they calculate about 110, which maxes at 43, and they anticipate he will get much under the guidelines like Holmes did.

      This is reddit so of course it is based on feelings and not facts.

    If the scale of his crimes don’t justify the max sentence, what level of fraud would it take to do so? $100B of fraud?

  The lawyer fees for the bankruptcy estate will be $1 billion (they will also come out of the customer funds)
  • pylua 3y ago
    That seems high. Honestly feels like a fraud in itself

  Is it proportional? Can I go to jail for 6 months for $44 million?
