    That is extremely unlikely to actually occur. For that figure he would have to be convicted of every count, given the maximum sentence for every count, and sentenced to serve it consecutively.

    Consecutive sentencing is pretty much guaranteed not to happen. So you can immediately reduce the high end to whatever the most serious count is. Then since it’s federal, the judge will have sentencing guidelines that will add up a whole bunch of aggravating and mitigating factors to arrive at the final sentence.
