62. He wqas sentenced to 17 1/2 years...he served 9 in prison, then Trump released him to home arrest

He's served 4 1/2 years in home confinement. Biden commuted the sentence of everyone who was released to home confinement under COVID protocols. He was one of those. He was going to be under home cofinement anothe 18 months if he were to serve the federal usual of 85% of his sentence. He's served 79% of his sentence.

This guy is a horrible shitbag, but was going to be free anyway in a year and half. Buden did not commute his sentence specifically, but everyone who was in his same situation. Unfortunately, that got him lcuky, so he gets to take his ankle monitor off now rather than in January or June 2026.
