No, the judge begins with the sentencing guidelines calculations, and then takes into account a host of other factors. The judge has significant (but not absolute) discretion in choosing a sentence. As a general matter, white collar criminals more often get downward variances than others. But we’re still likely talking in the decades worth of federal prison.
