The bigger crime was ..."Nickels was trusted to protect casino revenue earmarked for tribal social services." [...] "what Nickels did was "tantamount to stealing from a nonprofit organization."
yep, in WA that's the real crime.

Prosecutors say the ring cheated casinos out of millions of dollars. The Emerald Queen Casino near Fife lost $868,000 in one game. And yet only charged with conspiring to steal $90,000? Tell me his daddy didn't have influence. Of course, want to make him eligible to continue to vote. Oh, wait, felons do vote in King County.

<9>With his father watching from the gallery, Nickels told U.S. District Judge John Coughenour that getting involved in the scam was "the biggest mistake of my life."
No, being born a Nickels was his biggest mistake...It was all downhill from there...

Wonder how much time he will receive for good behavior.
Exactly 90 days, I am sure.
