25 years is a long time. Not saying he doesn't deserve more but his parents will probably be dead by the time he gets out, and he wont have a family.

Also, he was addicted to the internet (supposedly), he wont have access to that either.

His parents who are professors of legal ethics? His mother is getting a long-term lesson in the theories of consequentialism that she is a supporter of.

It seems unlikely he will serve that full time though I don’t know the specific parole eligibility constraints for these charges.

Possible that some future President would commute his sentence or grant a pardon. But unlikely.

You need to serve 85% of your sentence in federal prison. He will likely appeal for a reduction.
