Instead of waiting for sentencing in jail he was under house arrest at a friends house.

I'd guess had he awaited sentencing from jail, he'd have gotten credit for that time served against his sentence, so time spent incarcerated would have been the same. So he was just prolonging the inevitable I suppose. Also, I don't believe any time he spent on house arrest qualifies for jail-time credit, so to me that actually ends up increasing his punishment further than had he simply awaited sentencing from jail.

If this is federal, I think he can earn 54 days per year "good time" credit which would rack up to 135 days early release. So I'm guessing he'll do 26 months or so (unless he bashes somebody over the head with his food tray or gets caught smuggling in a pack of smokes).

It is Manhattan Federal.

He could serve even less if he claims drug dependency while inside, I think 10% more off plus the last 15% served in halfway house.

BUT, the Schadenfreude Envelope, please...

"He faces another trial in Manhattan for allegedly stealing $300,000 from Daniels. He faces a third case in Los Angeles for allegedly screwing over clients, lying in bankruptcy proceedings and other financial crimes."
