7 years, 7 years and 5 years (Concurrently) with 3 yrs supervision thereafter! So... that is like... "7 years but don't even think of appealing... there is no point!... we got you forwards backwards sideways and upwards... Compris?.... Now Say Thankyou Judge!!"
I take that as the judge showing leniency at the same time as not swallowing any of Berman's bullshit! Nor that of those that spoke up for him! And as he is below the 10yr limit, he will probably score minimum security. I think the 3yrs supervision is important given the sociopathic behavior exhibited... I can live with this outcome. They guy is old and sick and I am not cruel. They have locked him up good and hard, but they have not thrown away the key.
But then again , I didn't lose any money. (Nor did I make any... I am honest! . And I sleep at night!) I just saw this toxic POS for what it was and posted warning notices for others to see (As did several others. For which I got abuse and intimidation where 'thanks' would have been due.(As did several others... to whom I owe thanks for their warnings that were heeded!)
Ideally I'd like to see ALL of those bottom feeders that scored $ off the back of this DECN scam gone after by law enfrorcment. No one should be able to show a profit in a sad situation like this. No one!
Justice is not quick, but sometimes it gets there in the end!

Outstanding! Given the circumstances, as presented by the Defense, I was hoping for a minimum of 5 years. Seems like Judge McFadden did a nice job of sorting through Berman's team's BS.
