I would also bet that 99.6% is based on plea bargains as well. Defending a federal case will likely cost you $1 million plus. On top of that, all your assets will likely be frozen or inaccessible. Basically the government always aims for a conviction based on a plea bargain, but if you dare challenge them by going to court, they will crush you with every trick they have. Basically, there is no such thing as a fair criminal trial at the federal level. I'd love to know more about that 0.4% and what those trials did to them and how destroyed they were financially when all was said and done.
