I didn't even read the article because the headline sucks and I'm suspecting it's one of these where it adds up the years for each charge. However, sentences for these things are usually served concurrently as opposed to consecutively.

But the real answer is that if it's anything over 10 years it's basically a life sentence for him, which is just fine with me.

On a side note, what a self own. All he had to do was give the documents back when asked and not lie to his own lawyers. But I guess asking him not to lie is a pretty tall order.
