I was reading about the crypto bro who was convicted of fraud recently, but his sentencing isn’t going to happen until March 2024. Why does it take so long?

Cheers!

    I agree that we have a two tiered justice system.

    I don’t really agree that this is an example of that.

    A: homie isn’t walking free. He’s in prison waiting to hear exactly how long he’ll be in prison.

    B: The thing with poor people getting gaps between verdict and sentencing is only a thing because of the scale of crimes involved. Someone rich is going to need to commit way more significant crimes that will require more in depth consideration for the punishment.

    If a rich person commits a minor crime they’ll almost certainly manage to get off. A poor person is almost certainly going to get a verdict and an immediate sentencing.
