Murderers get less than that. We are truly an interesting society, aren't we - somehow kids doing LSD, a mostly harmless substance, is causing us more harm, as a society, than, say, violence?

If he really did attempt to order a hit on someone, that changes the game a little. Now we're no longer talking about just drugs.

But I agree that it's absolutely insane if the charges are just drug-related -- rapists get far less time than many drug dealers.

As far as I can tell, he wasn't actually convicted of anything like that.

He wasn't distinctly charged with it, but according to the document tptacek linked earlier (https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/1391...), the attempted murders for hire were considered to be an element of the criminal enterprise and conspiracy he was running. He was convicted of those charges, so as far as I can tell, he was convicted of something like that.
