Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
Or some tosh like that.
If he serves half of it for good behaviour, he'll only be about 145 when he gets out.

So why not simply give him the chair then? What on earth is the point of dishing out a sentence that will be impossible to complete?

The question you need to ask is why financial crimes get punished so harshly in comparison with 'real' physical crimes with real victims...

Wouldn;t want to be his cellmate for the latter half of his sentence!! 😯

True Biscuit but there were 'victims' and I think some of them committed suicide because of their ruin.
In general though I agree with you.
