I was reading about the crypto bro who was convicted of fraud recently, but his sentencing isn’t going to happen until March 2024. Why does it take so long?

Cheers!

    Sentencing often comes with a Sentencing Investigation.

    The Judge looks at past criminal records, evidence from the trial, motions from defense attorneys and prosecution and such. It all takes time.

    The crypto bro is currently in jail awaiting the sentencing (and second trial with more charges against him) so it’s not like he’s walking around free.
