Stocks n Drugs n FaceBook - USA v. Susser et al

[blackpeter1]

I think this group may get 5-10 years at the minimum. That's why they took the plea deal. They were probably looking at 10+ years otherwise with mounting legal costs. I believe each charge carried 10-20 yrs. I'd have to go back and look at what each charge carried, but I remember seeing these #'s. It's possible they get more than 5 years as we're talking about some serious looking crimes. I wouldn't be surprised to see them get 10yrs and maybe that's why they were trying to battle this until they couldn't anymore as the evidence was probably too overwhelming. A jury would NOT be sympathetic towards these types of behavior. A judge may give them some relief like half of what they were facing. Just guessing as I have no idea what to expect other than what the charges carry. You have to figure they were and are looking at some pretty hefty time either way.
