Boo, I was hoping for 40. He’ll get out early enough to scam more.

This is probably to satisfy the public. He’ll probably get closer from 5-10 and the rest will be watered down on appeals

He is going to federal prison, which means he needs to serve 85% of his sentence or 21.25 years minimum.

Not according to CNN:

"“SBF may serve as little as 12.5 years, if he gets all of the jailhouse credit available to him,” Mitchell Epner, a former federal prosecutor, told CNN.

Since 2018, however, nonviolent federal inmates can reduce their sentence by as much as 50% under prison reform legislation known as the First Step Act."

How much you want to bet that he is let out within fifteen for ‘good behavior’, ‘demonstrated an earnest commitment to changing his ways’ and the other reasons listed as to why wealthy people don’t spend long in prison.

Far as I heard, reduction can only ever go down to 21

Hua, that’s seems surprising little for a non violent offender not involved in drugs.

Sure, I’d rather Sam spent the rest of his life making up to his victims through public service works.
