20 years in prison when you are 63 years old. It's not a nice retirement.

He better hope AI comes up with some gene therapy or rejuvenation drug.

Good. I won't shed any more tears for him than I have for Michael Milken, Bernie Madoff, or any other swindler. As far as the sentence goes however, I'd rather he was out working to pay back the people he cheated.

You gotta love the American system of justice...this guy commits gambling fraud and is facing up to 20 years in prison..ok..yet a former President of the USA is convicted of 34 counts of fraud, is guilty of sexual assault as well as other sex crimes and invoked an insurrection to get back in power and his sentence...rewarded as the next President of the USA...wow. equal justice for all and no man is above the law...
