    That number seems really low for a ponzi scheme. Those are rookie numbers in this racket.

      Yeah, BM only served 12 of his 150 year sentence for his $65 billion scheme.

      His was 32,500x larger, so she might get out in 3 hours?

      It does seem low, especially because ponzi schemers are screwing over the epstein class. The epstein class protects their own and don’t get prosecuted.

      I heard the going rate is around 600k and up, depending on the crime.

    “Nearly $2 Million Ponzi Scheme” is an interesting name for a crime

      Crime? Like stealing food to stay alive? No, this is not a crime. I can prove it by how much punishment a thief will serve vs a 2 million dollars ponzi schemer will serve. Sadly like some of the other replies, these are rookie numbers so we are closer to a crime.
