He’s now in the FO stage of FAFO

Not really, the guy is worth 5-6 million dollars so this won't scare him at all. He will get a fine and pay it then go on his merry way

Is it an either/or on the prison time and fine? I read it as fine and min 30 days of time, going up to a year.

It's a fine and possibly a year in prison for each count. But the judge can rule no jail time and just fines which is what I'm betting is what will happen.

Sigh…there’s no real justice these days, is there?

I would love to be wrong but our justice system is made to help rich people break the law with little to no repercussions.

And a year in prison for these people ends up being no actual time, or it's a few weekends in a club.
