See? They give people all kinds of stupid-ass sentences for a tax-related crime.
Ross is serving a double-life sentence without parole for making a drug store.
And then you have the Tornado Cash guy serving over a year in prison for making a mixer.
Meanwhile, it is almost impossible to put people like Donald Trump in prison even for one day.
The justice system in the US is two-tiered: One for rich old fiat white men and one for the rest of us.
Try to indict Jamie Dimon for anything, for example - it's not going to happen - if anything even, it'll just be a slap on the wrist.
But that's not something that happens only in the United States. In any country in the world, anyone who has a lot of money accused of something has a much better chance of being acquitted (and paying a simple fine) than someone who, for example, works in construction and lives with just enough money month to month. But I think we must also take into account that not only the wealth of the accused plays a role, but also contacts or friendships with powerful and influential people. If the 30 years thing is true, it seems really crazy to me.
