He may have been "sentenced" to 100 years but in reality, he could be out in as little as 5 years. It is a non-violent offense and I am assuming he has committed no other crimes so he will score high on the grid. He only has to serve 1/5 anyway and gets credit for time already served. When he gets to his "white collar" prison, there will be lots he can do to get 2 for 1 days and even up to 4 for 1 days. He will NOT serve 100 years. The very most would be 20 because that is the 1/5 minus however long he has already been in jail awaiting trial. He will have a very easy time in prison anyway because of all the legal advice he can give to other inmates. They will love him. Don't feel sorry for him.
