She hasn't been sentenced yet. We don't know what the terms of her deal are but they almost certainly involve leniency in the sentencing. Her lawyer likely tried to make a case that the big bad evil SBF sexually manipulated her into committing fraud and actually she's the real victim here.

Leniency is a relative term. It's relative to the size of the harm, number of victims, her centrality to it, etc. If there's a for sure bet to be made here, it's that she will be spending many years in prison for this. Just not her whole life. That's what leniency here means.

I think she'll probably do 36 months or so. Not nothing but also not life-destroying.

Also the thing to consider as well is that any management level trust position in a white collar setting is off limits to her for many years after that as well. On account of people being slow to entrust ex-cons with responsibility.

I wouldn't trust her even if she wasn't convicted.

She'll make way, way, way more money selling her tv/movie rights to Apple or whoever makes the definitive documentary-drama on the matter. Like 'F you, never work again' money.

How are you calculating that?

Mostly articles like https://lawprofessors.typepad.com/whitecollarcrime_blog/2015... (this case is also being prosecuted by SDNY) and a general expectation that she won't go scot free (so not just 21 days) but also that SBF is the one they really want to put away.

Why not both ?
