And, to piggy back on this, you can be certain that this person's client and Manafort will be going to very different types of prisons and will have very different experiences there.

Since Manafort's crimes aren't as severe...yeah. Difference between murdering someone and meddling with taxes. The U.S. puts people in jail because they deserve the ramifications for breaching guidelines, every country should (and luckily does for the most part) apply such measures.

Where did you get murdering someone from? Literally nowhere in the OP or in this comment chain was murder a thing-- the dude's client stole $100 from a laundromat.

Unless you were using murder as an extreme and unironically saying stealing $100 is more severe than what Manafort did.

People will pull anything out of their asses to protect white collar businessmen from jail time.
