Facing a 30 year jail sentence and only geting a 14 month one must have been a great relief for Brent Beckley. Usually there aren’t diferences this big on crime sentences judged in the USA. Now we just have to hope press will keep na eye on all these guys after the sentences to see in what kind of businesses will they enter next.

Not to defend any of them, but if the USA government did not pull out of on-line poker due to a stupid unclear ruling then there would not be all this problem. Then there is the matter of regulators who should never have let this happen. But all of them should have seen it coming and have a solid back up plan.

cool at least he will get some time behind the bars- sure this is too easy on him considering 30 years were hanging on his head, but i wouldn't be surprised at all if he walked away with no prison- so in some way justice is partially done, now let's hope players get their money back and everyone's happy

ONLY 14 MONTHS FOR ALL THAT MONEY? JESUS CHRIST. a young punk ass kid from the ghetto would get more for being caught with a couple joints and this guy only gets 14 months, thats disgusting.

Perhaps the justice system is running some type of bluff and when he arrives at the prison he will be locked up for the 30 years!! Doubt it, Money talks as we all know!!
At least he got some time and didn't have to pay a fine with other peoples money !!
