Another Sentence To Consider When Thinking of Sentencing Disparities

DOJ Tax CES touts this sentence on its web site here. The read on the site is short, so I encourage readers to look at it. Here's the guts of it though:

1. Plea to mortgage fraud (5 year count) with "total bank fraud loss, which included relevant conduct stemming from additional frauds that Shaffer perpetrated upon other banks, was $2,688,571.93."

2. Plea to tax evasion count (5 year count) with total tax loss (including relevant conduct for nonplea years, $536,228.77.

3. Plea to failure to collect, account for and pay over employment taxes (5 year count) with total tax loss, including relevant conduct, $272,209.14.

Sentence 51 months.

Compare this sentence with Mr. Thorson's. See here and here.
