The article only talks about SBF and the supposes that there are others needing the same or more than him. There are no anecdotes or data for this though, usually you would at least expect some of "so and so has been in prison for 5 years and has been..." type of point.
It really doesn't take a journalism major to see this is just a blog and may as well be a sob story for SBF since it does little more than that...
