Or the wire fraud. That's a federal charge and a felony. At $1M the range is going to be likely around 40-50 months, so $25M + (in this case) several aggravating factors like amount of loss, number of victims, defendant’s intentions and marketing techniques pushing that to 100+ months is not surprising.
