25 years max for stealing billions? God bless America.

> Lichtenstein and Morgan are charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, and conspiracy to defraud the United States, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Are you suggesting that's a light punishment?

>>twox2+r7
Given that folks have been given longer punishments for stealing less, yes. Granted, ianal and I acknowledge that things come into play like repeat offenses, etc.

>>throwa+jb
At the same time, though, folks get lighter sentences for rape and murder. IMO there's nothing 30,40,50+ years can do to a person that 25 can't.
