78 months.

Damn... Is it true that federal crimes, there are no parole or will he be out in a year?

From the sister thread. He posted that in March of last year. We should ask him if he still thinks he won't see actual jail time. Despite what the judge sentenced him to, I have little idea how jail/prison stuff works.

There is federal probation, there is no federal parole, it was replaced by "supervised release". Rich Wyatt will never see the inside of a "pen".

I still stand by my comment, in regards to the original charges, Rich Wyatt will never see the inside of a United States Penitentiary AKA "Pen", those are reserved for much more "worthy" inmates. Whatever Rich Wyatt decides to do with his time once he arrives to his facility is up to him, and I can't predict that, but he could certainly work his way up to a "Pen".

Wait, I'm genuinely confused now. Are you saying he'll spend time somewhere, just not inside the "pen?"

I was merely responding to the usage of the term "Pen", which are reserved for the worst of the worst, not for people with charges like Rich Wyatt has. He will likely be designated to a low security facility, and then work his way down to a camp (think Rod Blagojevich). It was my bad assuming everyone knew the different terminology.

Okay, I'm following now. Thanks.
