Maybe this is a good thing, the corrupt politicians own mafia network is being dismantled. Time for Robert Kocharyan next?

i wont be surprised if they get sent to a white collar prison for non violent offenders, if there lawyers are good.

Really? They have numerous charges, which range from 10 years to 50 years. They also have life imprisonment charges against them. They'd be really lucky to have only one or two charges stick which makes them spend 20 years in prison, not to mention the life imprisonment charges. I'm not a lawyer though so I don't know... 20 years is getting off easy, in my opinion.

It all really depends on their priors, and how aggressively the prosecutor(s) will push the charges. Many times the initial charges are extremely exaggerated to instill fear onto the defendants with the hope of doing a quick plea-deal and not even going into formal trial. Plus, there is a difference between violent and non-violent offenders. Non-violent offenders usually get off easier (might get the same sentence, but will usually parole earlier).

Well, you may be right, actually. The gangsters depicted in Goodfellas ended up getting 10-20 years, and they were linked to murders and drugs.

They won't get solitary confinement for this, and they'll end up in Federal prison, if they don't get out of it. None of them will get anything close to 100 years. I'd say if their lawyers do their jobs correctly, the worst would be around 20 years in Fed confinement.

I've never heard "vor" being used to describe anything like a "Godfather" figure? Is it just me?

Apparently "vor" is a Russian term for a mafia boss.

vor: thief, lord of crime. Once generic term for thief or foreign enemy.

I stopped reading right there.....very funny Kanada

Re: Armenians Gangsters Charged With Largest Medicare Scam Ever

I'm not a lawyer, so I'm wondering what their lawyers will fight for? I mean, sure, some of these people have life charges against them, including numerous charges that total to over 100 years in prison. What can they possibly get, best case scenario? I'm talking about one of the brains behind it all? What's the minimum he can get? Why fight for it? What's the use?

Do you guys think they'll get solitary confinement in a case like this? I imagine, since I know nothing about this, that the lawyers will fight to get them at least a regular sized prison cell as opposed to solitary confinement? I can't imagine one of the bosses getting anything less than fifty years or something, if that.
