Mr. Forlit, 58, is accused of running a sprawling enterprise that operated around the world, including in Russia, India and Dubai. A 2022 grand jury indictment unsealed on Friday charged Mr. Forlit with conspiracy to commit computer hacking, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud, which could result in up to 45 years in prison.

What’s the chances of him doing anything close to 45 yrs in prison? I mean under the current fake Jesus dude not much I’d say.

My guess is he’ll be pardoned on day one.
