3. Way too light a time

for this clown. His last guilty plea for his crimes got him off light with a sentence of 5 months in the Rikers Infirmary and he was let out in 3. This will be the same. So for having spent decades participating in fraud in the billions, enriching himself and his family members by tens of millions of dollars by way of his crimes, failing to pay taxes and then committing perjury in related legal proceedings he gets to walk away and keep most of the money after only serving a total of 6 months in protective custody.

All that the man did and supposedly 6 months and repaying $2 million in back taxes fixes it all. People get more than that for being a repeat offender for shoplifting. They also don't get to keep the merchandise.
