If he’s eligible for parole at 1/3 of a 25 year sentence, he will spend anywhere from between 8 years, 4 months in prison or 25 years. That would make him somewhere between 40 and 57 when he gets out.
- jherskovic 3y agoNo parole in the Federal system. There's (some) time off for good behavior.

- dragonwriter 3y agoThat's from 1984, federal parole was abolished in 1987 (though people sentenced before 1987, IIRC, remain eligible according to the rules in place at the time.) SBF was sentenced somewhat after 1987, so those rules don't apply to him.
- jihadjihad 3y agoThis is a federal sentence, so there is no parole. The most time off you can get in the federal system for good behavior is 54 days per year of sentence, so less than 4 years off for SBF's 25-year sentence.

- dragonwriter 3y ago> If he’s eligible for parole at 1/3 of a 25 year sentence He is not; there is no federal parole (for people sentenced ib the last ~37 years.) There is “good conduct time” that can reduce time served to not less than ~85% of the time sentenced, so around 21 years minimum.
- dragonwriter 3y agoWell, its a little more complicated, and depending on the degree of release you are interested in. He could be “out” either a year earlier than I said in the above, or in half of his total sentence: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39855552 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39855552
