Give them each 50-YEARS - Tired of Criminals - Getting away with Crimes - - We need Tough Justice - - Stop making it easy for these Criminals to Walk Away and Commit another Crime on Society - -
50 years is ridiculous bro
Bro - With Multiple Counts of Bank Fraud, Identity Theft, Conspiracy Charges, Mailbox Theft, and Credit Card Theft and Fraud - these could have easily added up to More Than 50-Years - - The Prosecutor is allowing Aaron M. Blake to Plead Down the Charges - This BASTARD and his Accomplice - Needs to Spend Years Behind Bars - and anyone Else that would think they can Steal from Honest and Innocent Individuals - Deserves the Same...
WHAT IF YOU WERE HIS VICTIM AND HAD YOUR IDENTITY STOLEN - AND HAD TO SPEND MONTHS AND MONTHS - POSSIBLE YEARS - TO GET YOUR CREDIT STRAIGHTENED OUT - YOU CANNOT BUY A HOUSE, OR YOU MIGHT BE TURNED DOWN FOR A CAR LOAN OR A JOB, PERSONAL LOAN, LIFE INSURANCE, ETC., BECAUSE YOUR CREDIT IS RUINED...
NO - BRO - 50-YEARS Isn't Ridiculous - For Ruining Multiple People's Lives...
According to the indictment, Blake and Sturgis stole checks, credit cards, debit cards, cash, and documents that contained personal identification information from the mailboxes of their victims in Joplin. The indictment alleges they stole Pandora jewelry from one victim’s mailbox, and a Christmas card that contained a $500 check from another victim’s mailbox. The indictment also alleges they stole a W-2 form from a mailbox and used it to fraudulently obtain a credit card; when the credit card was mailed to the victim’s address, they allegedly stole it from the mailbox as well. In another instance, the indictment says, they stole a credit card from a victim’s mailbox and used it to make purchases.
Blake and Sturgis allegedly used the stolen credit cards to purchase items from area businesses. They allegedly used the stolen personal identification information of their victims (such as bank account numbers, bank routing numbers, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers) to open other credit and bank accounts.
Stop Feeling Sorry for the Criminals and Start Feeling Sorry for their Victims - BRO!!!
State Charges are Less - -
If you are convicted of federal bank fraud or any other white-collar crime, you will face a sentence of up to 30 years in federal prison and fines of up to $1 million Per Charge.
On Top of this there was Mailbox Theft, Identity Theft, Credit Card Theft and Fraud.
Remember these Banks, Businesses, Stores, and Victims - Will Probably Never be Paid Back...
NO - BRO - If it was up to me - 50-Years is just about right...
"If you are convicted of federal bank fraud or any other white-collar crime, you will face a sentence of up to 30 years in federal prison and fines of up to $1 million Per Charge."
Any white collar crime results in a 30 year sentence? You don't have any idea what you're talking about.
Federal crime is easy time-I’m told-if 5 years I’d be surprised
Hey Anonymous 9:42 AM - - Are You an Idiot - - BRO

Federal Charges with Statutes - Some of the penalties that could be handed down to those convicted of the above listed crimes include:
Money laundering: If you are convicted for being involved in a money laundering scheme, you could be ordered to pay twice the value of the money laundered (up to $500,000) and be sentenced to serve a prison sentence based on any underlying felonies that accompany the money laundering charges (such as enterprise corruption, securities fraud or drug trafficking charges): [18 U.S.C Section 1956].
Bank fraud: A fine of up to $1,000,000 and/or a prison sentence of up to 30 years

Too bad for him
Honestly it's just nice to see a crime that isn't another Trumper hurting kids for once.
Thank you, Knuckles. Your tireless work is a delight to chuckle at occasionally from time to time when the opportunity happens to arise as they sometimes do.
