“Paxton is accused of encouraging investors in 2011 to put more than $600,000 into a technology company, Servergy Inc., that is based in McKinney. He did so, according to the charges, without telling the investors that he was making a commission on their investment. And, he is alleged to have misrepresented himself as an investor in the company.”
Then clearly, he should be locked up until the year 2114. Wonder why 99? Why not just 100, or 150? We are all going to feel pretty stupid if he gets out, and then in like 2120, tricks us again.
A maximum sentence doesn’t mean he’ll get one if guilty. Someone who makes millions off of deceiving hundreds of investors would be more likely to get the maximum sentence. But if he made $100K by fraud, then he deserves some prison time. That isn’t exactly a gray area of the law...
