It is not really about him using it, but about if there are any examples. Is there any person in history before that got %5 of what they are charged with, for this reason? If there is, then well there is nothing that thee court can do because the precedent was already established, but if there isn't, why start now? There isn't really any tangible reason for it. I still think 110 years is a lot, I get that it means life sentence or something, but seriously, financial crimes are not really that hard, some 20 years should be fine, he will retire old man and get out and just live as a 60+ year old somewhere, can't hurt anyone at that point.
