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

[Mr. Reactionary]

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

[anthonyjg]

I hope his sentence is upped by 5000% just for the hell of it.

[Santander]

My hero.

[America Needs R'hllor]

I hope his sentence is upped by 5000% just for the hell of it.

[ProudModerate2]

This is what his punishment from the judge, should have looked like ....

[Skunk]

I hope his sentence is upped by 5000% just for the hell of it.

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.

I see his bold "smugly troll the jury" defense worked as well as expected

He's white don't count on it.

     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.

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
