Okay here's Judge Jackson's sentence:
Manafort gets 60 months on Count 1 (30 months concurrent with the VA sentence)
13 months on Count 2
36 months on supervised release (to run concurrent to the VA sentence)
Pay restitution of just over $6 Million

1. He has $28 million in assets

[unblock]

2. so that's basically one very bad day in the stock market.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Not any more. Between the two cases he's had to forfeit almost all of his assets.

And the state prosecutors still get to take a shot at him.

[2naSalit]

3. That's BULLSHIT!!!

Not a sentence reflecting his crimes!!!

[bluestarone]

6. My eyes see it the same as you!

Crock of shit!! Just seems like we can't get a fair shake? BUT maybe, makes no difference because of a PARDON? We will see!

[Merlot]

26. Even if he gets a pardon, he won't get his money back

Plus, state charges coming his way.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Jackson gave him a sentence within the sentencing guidelines,

so her sentence did reflect his crimes, at least those that she had the power to sentence him for. She was not legally able to correct for Ellis' departure from the guidelines.

[DURHAM D]

14. I thought the guidelines were 7 - 10 years. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. There's no statutory minimum sentence.

Oh, look! On my tv they are saying the Manhattan DA just indicted Manafort!

[DURHAM D]

16. Those are two different things. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. True. But if I'm reading the guidelines table correctly,

the lowest sentence for someone with no criminal history and offense level 14 crimes looks like 15 months, 30 for two level 14 offenses.

[2naSalit]

19. It was less than ten yrs

And she ALSO gave him credit for time served which I think is hogwash since he was put in prison for yet additional crimes so I don't see why he should have been shown any leniency at all. If I did that without all the other shit piled on top... I'd be in for life.

Total crock of poo. He won't spend five years of it behind bars.

I can only hope there will be future trials from NYS with more time piled on. That fucker has cause so much harm around the planet...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. She followed the law. She had to give him credit for the time he's already been in jail,

and she had to make part of the sentence concurrent with the first sentence because the underlying conduct for one of the conspiracy counts was the same as the bank and tax fraud scheme for which he was convicted in the VA case.

[2naSalit]

25. Huh.

I wasn't able to pay attention as I had to go to the city to the Dr.'s, Thanks for the info. I hope the NY Grand Jury's indictments finish him.

[Chin music]

27. Couldn't agree more. He got the extra time for contemptuous behavior.

[2naSalit]

34. It looks like NYS will end up

finishing him off. As long as he never sees life from outside prison again, it'll work for me.

[Bettie]

13. Rich white dudes get a slap on the wrist

get ready, because there will be SO much more of this.

None of them are going to actually pay for anything.

[2naSalit]

21. Yup...

the cult of rich white guys. Affluenza plagues this nation as we are seeing with the college entrance scandal and all the other crap we have to sit here and take up the hiney because we weren't born into wealth.

I think this makes Sen. Warren look better in my book for the moment. She wants to end obscene wealth, I'm all for that. Those assholes have made my life a living hell for a long time...

[AJT]

4. This country is screwed.

There is no justice.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. When Manafort gets out of prison he'll be 77 and broke. He might also face prosecution

by state attorneys general and district attorneys. That looks like justice to me.

*UPDATE* He is being prosecuted by the Manhattan DA.

[2naSalit]

20. I don't think he's gonna be broke when restitution is less than 10% of his wealth.

Affluenza.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. Manafort was broke when he signed on with the Trump campaign.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/02/politics/manafort-trial-day-three/index.html

He had some valuable real estate but $25 million worth of it was forfeited in the VA case, and DC just hit him for another $11 million. He also owes Oleg Deripaska $19 million. His net worth appears to be less than zero at this point.

[2naSalit]

23. okay...

that almost makes me feel a little better. Now I see that NYS has filed new charges so that makes me feel a little better too.

I'm just so sick of seeing rich jerks suffering little to no consequences for their crimes.

[True Blue American]

30. He is being sued for $24 million, too.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. And then there are his attorneys' fees.

[Hoyt]

5. The previous sentence had restitution of $25 Million. So he's pretty much broke, shamed, with

a relatively long jail sentence for an old sick POS. Now, if they'll get trump.

[greymattermom]

7. So if he is pardoned

does he get this money back?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. No, he does not.

[diva77]

18. not even a pretty penny? thanks for this info. -- some consolation at least

[PRETZEL]

10. I had thought in another thread

don't remember which one, that Judge Jackson amended the restitution order to $11M?

ok Found it

[LiberalFighter]

28. I wonder how the Russians will get the money Manafort owes them?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

29. He really shouldn't complain about going to prison; he might be safer there

than free in NYC where he could accidentally fall out a window or get accidentally stabbed by an umbrella or accidentally drink a cup of tea with polonium in it.

[MichMan]

32. What happens if he never pays ?

Former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who is currently serving a lengthy sentence, owes 1.5 million in restitution to the City of Detroit. Pretty clear that he has no intention of ever paying.
