Shkreli did 6.5 years - and, no one lost a penny.

Its not whether a crime was committed that is important but rather the seriousness of the charges…

Obviously, Bankman-Fried and Shkreli both violated federal law.

On the other hand, the Feds could not prove that any person was financially injured by those violations.

Civil fines. Home confinement. Parole. Loss of passport. Barred from the Securities Business. All of those are completely obvious.

But, 25 years and 6.5 years in prison?

That is ridiculous.
