10 years in a luxury prison. Not really hard time for stealing 64 million, plus she most likely won’t serve the full 10 years.

LOLOL…”falsely claimed he was a veteran and an African American.”

There are so many corrupt female blacks…we need fake ones now? Did she think she could get away with fraud if she was black?

Her husband, Nathan Reis, made that claim.

The whole government should be locked up. As for her, she should be released into protective custody at my house.

They should have just called it the “Prison Preparation Program” instead.

In one application, Reis reportedly falsely claimed he was a veteran and an African American.

How do you prove, in a court of law, that someone isn't an "African American?!"

What clause of the Constitution, what provision of the Federal Penal Code, defines exactly what an "African American" is?!

Is it a crime if I state, on an application, that I am an "Irish American" even though I have only 3.125% Irish blood?

Is it even legal for a Federal authority to demand that I divulge my ancestry or ethnic background?!

Regards,

How Much Time Is Actually Served

Federal inmates must serve at least 85% of the sentence if they earn good-conduct time.

10 years = 120 months

120 months × 0.85 ≈ 102 months actually served
→ About 8.5 years in prison

Possible Reductions

These can shorten actual prison time a little, but not massively:

First Step Act Earned Time Credits

If the person qualifies (most wire-fraud offenders do), they can earn:

Up to 15 days of credit per 30 days of program participation

Credits reduce time in prison by allowing earlier transfer to a halfway house or home confinement, not shortening the sentence itself.

This can shift the last 6–18 months out of prison depending on program availability.

Overall realistic outcome

A typical 10-year wire fraud sentence often results in:

Prison time: about 7.5 – 8.5 years

Then halfway house/home confinement: a few months to a year

Plus supervised release: usually 3 years

Security Level for Wire Fraud

Wire fraud is nonviolent, so most people serve in:

A low-security federal prison or

A federal prison camp (if criminal history is low and no enhancements)

If men can identify as women, why can’t someone identify as another ethnic group? LOL

Let’s not leave out the Minnesota Somalis. Heck, all of them anywhere in these United States. There used to be some in the ATL area, based on the rest, they’re probably ripping us off too.
