I hope they give him the full 20 years (though unlikely they will).

Before Trump, Shkreli was the ultimate alpha male, and needless to say, I wish he still was.

Judicial corruption and oversentencing is a big problem, so to be safe, we should just concentrate a whole year's worth of it on this guy.

I beg to differ:

Before Cummings grilled him, Shkreli was the ultimate alpha male.

     Wealth also affects after-prison prospects. If he were a poor man this conviction would ruin his life, but he'll probably land on his feet with some other company when he gets out. Regardless, I am glad to see him go away, and hopefully for as long as possible. Smiley

20 years in fed basically means you serve almost the full term. It's not like state where a 20 year sentence is often more like 7 or 8 years served.

Not true. For any not mandatory Federal sentence there is an 85% good behavior service rate after which one will get released without serving the remaining 15% of their sentence. The level of misbehavior required to Forfeit that 15% credit would be along the lines of stabbing the warden.

That's what I meant. 85% is practically the full term, at least in comparison to state where you get double time.

Depends on which of the 50 states dash dash Ohio implemented a truth-in-sentencing law about 20 years ago that has some significant unintended consequences for example - - but yeah, I see what you mean

Though the risk of nitpicking saying he would only serve 35 to 40% of any impose sense as opposed to 85% probably is inaccurate
