For those of you wanting to see this guy go away for a long time, you are most likely going to be disappointed. It sounds like he stole less than $1 million and will be charged with mail or wire fraud. He will be released on bail, will plead this out a year or so from now, and will be sentenced to somewhere between 18 and 36 months in a minimum security federal prison. He may get a little less than that if he can convince the prosecutor that his conduct was the result of a drug or gambling addiction (my guess is gambling was an issue here).
He will have a chance to redeem himself in the not-so-distant future. Hopefully he will capitalize on it.
- argonaut 13y agoWhy should we want to see him go away for a long time? We shouldn't. This idea of "we got to put this person away for decades" is one of the few areas where I find the European belief (in rehabilitation) to be better (I'm American). 18-36 months, in addition to the fact that he will have a felony on his record for probably the rest of his life, in addition to the fact that his public online reputation is destroyed forever, is appropriate.
- downandout 13y agoI wholeheartedly agree, but I saw some bloodlust playing out in the comments...my comment was directed at them.
