It's about time these heartless scammers who bilked people out of life savings, are finally thrown in jail . They should throw away the key!

[@coolnout3765]

25 years for billions, disgusting. The guy should have received all 100 years of incarceration. He probably was friends with the prosecutor and judge.

[@jesusfreakster101]

Can’t see him serving more than 12, not with the connects he paid for prior to his fall.

[@marvinbrando722]

Less than that

[@robynhurley5119]

Federal sentence requires 85%

How to become a multi billionaire in just less than 25 years (possible with parole , 5years or less) 😂😂😂

[@hawkhoskins4250]

Post office bosses did far worse things taking peoples freedom and got no jail, no nothing.

[@garyowen4112]

[@user-ec9rz7xh7e]

He doesn’t even look trustworthy… scam artist

[@yougoagogo4843]

Imagine if Bankers got this legal Treatment for Fraud and not get Sweetheart deals and slap on the wrist fines 😮

[@mrbipolarmattyhoward6071]

His gifts of money to the government didn’t help him 😂😂

[@marvinbrando722]

What ? He got just 25. Appeal will reduce it to 10 and then he got already 3. In less than 5, he is out.
That's because of his payments

[@mygreatbigfoot1679]
