    He's going to meet people inside who know someone, maybe a family member, that he stole from, and then his real sentence begins: 300lbs of Bubba! 🤣

    He won’t serve it. Watch and see. Something will come up, and he will be out. Might take a few years, but definitely nowhere near 25. He’s too rich and deep. The rich are always above the law.

    He should be thankful that he only got 25 years and will likely be let out way before that due to corruption.
