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."
The last 7.5 years will probably be at home detention
Meanwhile the people he stole from are unlikely to ever see any of their money again let alone half of it.
But be 25 years behind all the other scammers in the meantime at least
none of the scams are new, he'll adapt
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.
he'll likely get low security and probably not horribly far from his parents' house
edit: judge has asked for medium security and as close to his parents' house as possible.
This 25 year portion is going to be really easy to simulate!
From the defense lawyer's statement (after Molly White) :
Really, he's an awkward math nerd. He thinks in probabilities about everything. He speaks in expected value calculations. He loves video games and veganism (...)
Those are aggravating circumstances. If I'm the judge that's +10yrs just for "he speaks in EV calculations".
If the prosecution don’t appeal this, you can know the fix is in.
Madoff got like 150 years.
i think they'll go "fine, whatever. which crook is next"
(that would be CZ)
He has at least stashed hundreds of bitcoins and get out multi billionare. So in 25 yrs he will rug bull the crypto market in revenage
