Any lawyers here? How much can he get for this?

Up to 30 years.

Is that a realistic guess for what the sentence will be, or the theoretical maximum?

It's the maximum, so unless he has a prior criminal history, there is no way he will get anything resembling that. 30 years is his "whale sushi" sentence.

That's the maximum. They didn't mention what they will recommend. If I had to guess I would say 10 years.

It's white collar. I vote for 60 days and 3 years probation.
