This is not correct. Federal sentences do not have parole and can be reduced by a maximum of only 15%, meaning (if that happens) SBF will serve at least 21 year

Milken was released because Trump pardoned him, which I don't think says anything about how sentencing guidelines do or should work.
- dragonwriter 3y ago> Milken was released because Trump pardoned him, He was released after a sentence reduction for cooperation with prosecutors against others decades before the pardon. Both the release and pardon occurred, but the latter was not the reason for the former.
