Make it 75!!
He should be rotting in jail for life.
He stole people's life savings and doesn't look like he regrets it. He ruined people financially. 😏

I'm not certain that he has a conscience

@@sonjakozman1699 I agree
Politicians from both parties that received stolen money from Sam, need to of course, return it. It's mandatory in my opinion

It’s gone. DNC took so much of it and cashed out before this happened
He probably won’t even do 6 years.

It's federal and he'll do 85% of 25, 22yrs. If he can cough up some billion dollar hairballs he might be out in a few yrs

I was wondering the same thing.
Don't do the crime if you can't do that time! Tony Barretta 1970s! America First
Maybe it should be longer!
This lawyer says these terms are too long but gives an example of how it turned someone around. It takes a long time to change someone enough who would ruin a thousand lives with a few suicides thrown in. It's not a victimless crime.... Reply
He deserves life in solitary confinement without the possibility of parole. 25 years is way too short.
No, life in prison! Over 100 people committed suicide because of him and his cronies 🤬
Where has all the money gone?

Did either of these opinion givers consider the people he donated to and amount of money he gave? He'll walk outta there in 4-5 years.
100 years .
If they would make this sentence for everyone that did crimes like this, I bet it would be a deterrent.
25 years in Florence, Colorado
Let's take it easy with saying he's getting that much jail time to warn other "potential offenders" that's a disservice to the interest of the United States legal system and constitution. Also is a bit predatory, so let's hope that is not a real dynamic.
How much actual time will he spend in jail?
What was his charge...I thought he was let out of all charges.
What kind of question is that? People are dead because of him wtf
No
Don’t drop the soap 🧼 😂😂😂😂
Stole billions… hurt likely millions
Ask me again in 25 years
Another Democrat judge.
No it’s not, this was just to save face, the plan will be to be pardoned by bidumb .
0:06 No, it's too short
Plus, 25 years the world will be different.
Yes
😂 I think the twenty five year sentence is funny as hell. All the smartest people in the room thought bankmen freed was so damn smart. How smart is he now? 😂
Maybe some justice when he gets to prison
Isolated? 8 billion dollars. Potential? The first thing he did was finance ORGYS! and Democrats. 25 years should have been 500.
Milken never committed fraud, moreover he was magnificently productive, then was arrested.
Sentencing guidelines are based on the damages done. But not all are correct in alignment. However in this case they work. But a drug user on 3rd possession charges in 3 years are not. I would hope this idiot could know the difference. But that would take common sense. And by his degree, we know he has very little. 😅

Yes, 25 years is fair
As he helped/connected with the dems? Ya he received a light sentence… if it was you or me? Life.
Nope. He stole way too much.
Should be in a Russian prison after he destroyed so many lives and futures.
Give him a full pardon...
8 billion but only 25 years
Hahaha awww kinda hard to spin this for you’re zio masters 😂😂😂
Woke forbes, how far the normies have fallen
I think he should be sentenced for life. Isolation with no access to the internet.😮🎈🪡🪁
