I thought committing fraud was part of being a billionaire in the USA 🤷🏽♂

From almost all politicians at very top to bottom. In all parties. It's called blue collar crime. Those who commit try to turn it on those who report and try to stop it. At every level.
I mean.....guys who have committed things like kidnapping and rape quite often serve way less.
He should have gotten more time. Low security prison!

I think he’ll do medium security. Minimum security is usually for terms 10 years or less
Somehow this doesn't seem like enough. He has ruined tons of people's lives and with good behavior he'll be out in 12 years and will still be a young man.

@@marilynh. just echoing & confirming. I agree he needed more time & he will def be in a less unpleasant prison than most, but he’ll be there til 2049. Unless he gets a pardon or some such, his folks are pretty connected, I bet they’ll wait for the next dem prez after Biden & then start lobbying. A lot of these people do get out early, but the more famous you are as a criminal, the longer you serve. Like they can’t release madoff early but if we don’t remember the name when the pardon request comes thru, a lot of presidents let white collar criminals out early.

@@marilynh. It's 85% of the time in a federal prison. Which is to say, the shortest his sentence will be is 21.25 years.
They should've added---no internet access as the punishment. and get a hair cut.
Wow, I've seen more time for low level fraud.

They won't. Gov always takes it for raises. They'll never give it back. Even if they get it back.
I lost confidence in our jurisdiction for quite some time now.
It’s a nice sentence ! Well balanced
Unfortunate that he didn't get the 50 years, he will be late 50s when he gets out he can still do harm to unsuspected people.
Finally some consequences for white collar crime.
Wow..not life in federal prison He sure had a lot of help
Low Security. He's going to a camp. Did 5 years at a Camp in PA. It's a piece of cake.

@@JohnHausser Prison Work camps are much different than Prison. For starters, there are no bars. But if you attempt to leave, you go to Prison. Next, food is pretty good, visitations are flexible, living conditions are private and more like College Dorm, and there are no visible guards. Of course, everyone would prefer to be home, but you did the crime you do the time.

Nope. Read federal guidelines.
Even he is guilty of a crime, but also in this case the so-called the victims themselves have committed the crime. Since they don't even exchange currency like Forex, they just buy lottery tickets hopes to win the huge jackpot. Can you imagine, someone wanting to use a used ticket again for a new transit. It seems that people don't understand the concept of money, why is it called money. It doesn't matter if it's a physical coin or a cryptocurrency. It looks like they work as "stock" a share buyback thing, but instead the word "coin" with the word "share", they didn't even invest their resources in an actual cryptocurrency coin.🙂
