Online-Poker Defendant Rubin Gets Three Year Sentence [bloomberg.com]

The government and Rubin’s defense attorney had recommended a sentence between 18 and 24 months, as specified in federal guidelines, which are advisory. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan today said such a sentence wouldn’t serve to discourage future crime.

“You are an unreformed conman and fraudster,” Kaplan told Rubin, calling his actions a “brazen” defiance of U.S. law. “A significant sentence is necessary to protect the community.”

'Lucky' for Bitar that Kaplan recused himself from his case.

Doesn't this even further indicate that Isai won't be able to avoid prison (without "running")?

P.S. inb4 Isai does make the (FTP) deal, goes to prison and is pronounced a martyr/saint by the poker community.
