Well, just spoke with my contact on this case, the question came up with how soon he could get out of prision or what was the minimum time he had to serve.
I was told in the federal system there is not an early release program, he will be serving the 46 months. The only option he has to get out early is for what they call "Good Time" which they said at the most would reduce his time to serve by 4 to 6 months.
So it looks like the shortest amount of time he will spend behind bars will be 40 months.
Now all he needs is a high paying prision job so we can get our money back.
