Only 20 years?... So he gets out in 10 at most or ends up appealing and getting a lighter sentence and still has those billions?... Fuck that under RICO he needs to have his assets confiscated like they do if you are busted selling pot...

Federal guidelines for sentences longer than a year require inmates to service a minimum of 85% of their sentence. A judge must sentence to at least the minimum sentence. Most likely, Kapoor will die in prison.
Citation please.... I know some who has had a lot of experience with the prison system and they said 50%...
@Lizard_of_Ahaz actually, the minimum amount of time served is one third the maximum sentence... With good behavior... No good behavior, it's two thirds the maximum... No good behavior, coupled with bad behavior or new charges results in the maximum sentence being served...
@TheInterlooper OK... I was referring to state sentences... I don't know about federal.
@Antidronefreeman Rather see him in General Population with his victims....and he shouldnhj't be allowed to keep his ill gotten gains either...
@Lizard_of_Ahaz see image for one. And, here is a second answer. [quora.com]
You are probably thinking of state penal sentencing and related laws.
@Lizard_of_Ahaz, @Antidronefreeman I don’t believe they have internet access. And, TV is generally an earned right probably. Plus, he is likely to serve in a low security facility in general population.
@Rob1948 More likely he will be in one of those country clubs like they put the Watergate crew in and only will "serve" less than 5 years before some crook pardons him....
@Lizard_of_Ahaz The minimum he serves depends on sentencing guidelines. I already noted minimum security incarceration.
@Rob1948 I saw one of those prisons they keep for people like him on Vandenberg.... They had an 18 hole golf course and Olympic size swimming pool... I hear the "cells" have doors that lock people out and the barbed wire on top of the chain link fence was sloped to the OUTSIDE....
@Lizard_of_Ahaz a link would be nice...otherwise, Lompoc, the correctional institution NEXT to Vandenberg Air Force Base houses prisoners serving 1 to 15. A few are allowed outside prison confines to work at the prison dairy and other, similar facilities. If there is a golf course, it is adjacent to the prison. The prisoners would not be allowed to play though they maybe employed to maintain the bade.
I think you have an inflated idea of what prison life is like at Lompoc.
@Rob1948 Lompoc is for people who are not privileged.... Vandenberg is for people like the Watergate criminals.... They don't let you know it is there because people would be trying to break into it not out... I saw it with my own eyes...
@Lizard_of_Ahaz You are wrong. Period.
Lompoc [en.m.wikipedia.org]
Vandenberg [en.m.wikipedia.org]
@Lizard_of_Ahaz No. Not close. I asked you for a link. You have yet to provide any links. I’ve provided you with 2 links. Vandenberg is an Air Base, that among other things, where the “shoot” rockets into space. Lompoc is a prison.
You need to learn to check facts and to be polite.
@Lizard_of_Ahaz Here is another link.
I think that is the wrong picture. That is Lewis Black!
I agree, anyone convicted of a crime like this should have their assets seized.
I think we've had enough of ass seizing since Trump.
@PondartInc I thought he was more of a pussy man. I'm not suggesting that convicts should have the family pet taken.
