Michael Milken got 10 years, ended up serving 22 months, but he took a plea deal and was cooperative in other ways. SBF might have gotten similar if he had shown some contrition and taken a deal. The way he played it, he's more likely to get the book thrown at him.

Yeah Milken was responsible for way more financial crimes and actively profited off of literally manipulating the market and causing a major crash and he did 22 months and then got a pardon, but as you said, he cut a deal. Because he might be a terrible person but he’s smart and has competent lawyers.
