The justice system is so god damn flawed. Homeless dude robs bank for $100 and turns himself in a day later gets 15 years in prison and a ponzi scheme like this gets 14months, WOW.

"flaud" might be the greatest misspelling on the internet.

Restitution for what? He was convicted of laundering money, not stealing from us. I wish they'd charge these thieves with that but so far that hasn't been the focus of these prosecutions.

A big reason people are not even charged with what they should be is District Attorneys in America are voted in by people and only serve a few years and then have to win re-election. To get re-elected they need to show a high conviction percentage as proof that tax dollars money is not being wasted such as the Roger Clemons prosecution. To secure a conviction they often seek mild charges as they are easier to win.

How much cash did he hide somewhere in the forest under the ground or in a tree hole waiting to be picked up using his pirate map after he gets out of jail?
