| Insanely low? Insanely high? SBF hasn’t really accepted responsibility or apologized through the trial, and didn’t at sentencing either. Judge Kaplan seems to have taken a balanced view — far from the statutory maximum, less than the U.S. wanted, more than the defense wanted. There will of course be appeals — SBF has already indicated he will file one. There’s good coverage of what took place at sentencing today here — https://twitter.com/innercitypress/status/177334004374401064... Also of note is since this is a federal conviction there is no parole in that system, and so unless SBF is successful in his appeal, he will spend at least 255 months in prison, that’s a 15% reduction versus the total sentence in return for good behavior while serving his sentence. |
