2 years, could have been worse. He's still rich as fugg, right?

They don't even have parole.  He is behind bars ALREADY.  Sometimes a judge will give you 7 days to put your affairs in order, but most times they take you 5 seconds after the sentence is read.  Think about that: Shrem spent last night is a cold small cement cell with a stainless steel toilet next to his head and a large black 'roommate'.
He has 90 days to surrender. Still tweeting.
yeah, saw that.  Judge gave him a break and let him get his shit together before reporting. 

I doubt we'll see guys taking it casually when they decide to ignore money laundering laws in the future.  Two years in the Fed Pen is not a cakewalk. Felon for life.  Not a good place to get for a few bucks.
even though he is a "felon", it is my understanding that he still has a job lined up (or is currently working - not sure which). With few exceptions, companies are not barred from hiring felons and Charlie has a lot of experience managing a business and a lot of experience in bitcoin that he should not have trouble finding work
