Just some perspective here,

Has anybody on this forum ever slammed a dog into the ground until it died? Or hung one with a noose? Or run an inter-state gambling operation with hundreds of thousands of dollars changing hands? Or pleaded guilty to tax evasion?

I guess if I did all that stuff, I'd be pretty relieved to get 23 months in jail.

No name people go to jail for tax evasion all the time (5-year max). And they definitely didn't get a job with their former employers when they got out.
