The internet rejoiced when Shkreli got arrested – but the simple fact is – even if he’s convicted for securities fraud – he’d likely spend way less than even 5 years in jail. And if the Koch brothers get their way and push through their version of “criminal justice reform” – he might not even face that much of a penalty.
