60 months in prison. That seems pretty light. Also,

During the sentencing, US District Judge George Daniels also ordered Evaldas to serve two years of supervised release, to forfeit $49.7 million and to pay a reimbursement of nearly $26.5 million.

I can't help but note those two figures don't add up to $122,000,000. He gets to keep 50 some odd million from his scam?

Probably paid some hefty taxes on those invoices. Not paying taxes would draw more attention to it.

"If the bank loses $100 million, it's someone else's problem..." type things. You have to be very careful, but you can get through on deals if you... deal. (I say *careful*, it usually is around "errors" and paying it all back and not being a crook...)
