He’s going away for a long time. There’s a whole process to it beyond just the decision on the length of the sentence. He has to go through a psychological evaluation, physical exams, there’s a process to figure out where he will serve his sentence, etc. His attorneys will try to get him into an easier prison. Recent convicts are often afforded the opportunity to get their affairs in order. There will also be appeals.
It seems a long way off, but there’s a lot to do and there could be other factors. Maybe the judge’s schedule is a little backed up. There are holidays coming up. Who knows. SBF is already locked up anyway. There’s no way he’s getting less than 10-15 years so there’s not a huge sense of urgency to rush through this.
