What's this?

Agree. Why is Vaughn's sentence so much less?

Reading some previous articles, almost seems like Robertson was pretty stupid in general, not sure how much he understood the scheme as much as Vaughn did, although he's still quite guilty/complicit and sounded not that remorseful. Just not sure that justifies such a longer sentence than Vaughn though. I'm sure this one will be appealed.

That's my sense as well. It is surprising. ** -- VAGentleman05 12/07/2017 10:59PM

Completely true, but 40 years is still astoundingly high. ** -- TheManUpstairs 12/07/2017 4:06PM

If he behaves himself, maybe Bernie Madoff will let him join the card game. -- HowieT3 12/07/2017 11:23AM

One of the worst things in the article was the lack of contrition -- MarcHoo 12/07/2017 09:44AM

Lack of acceptance of responsibility caused him to get a lot of extra years -- TheAntiHokie 12/07/2017 11:05AM
