Not sure the shock at his sentence. If you commit a robbery with a guy with a gun, and he shoots someone to death, you are charged with Murder 1, plain and simple even though you did not fire the gun.
In this case, his website caused probably of dozens of overdoses and deaths. If you commit a felony and people die because of that felony, you are likely going to face life in jail.
I don't see how this corresponds to Micon at all. Micon would do time for illegal gambling in Nevada and probably a concealing income down the road.
Micon's case is state, this is federal.
FWIW state cases tend to plead out a lot. And honestly why would Nevada pay money to incarcerate Micon when they can just accept a plea deal with a huge fine?

Because its not sustainable. You just can't hole up in Antigua as an American for the next 50 years unless you want to live like a rat. You are going to have to pay the government plenty of $$ for using their services (schooling, police, fire, hospitals, etc...) And speaking of hospitals, what about health insurance for a young family in a third world country? There is health insurance for those that pay, and the rest wait in long lines.
There is also the social element as well. If your only real interaction with people you like is Skype and email, things are going to go south real quickly. Holidays are going to be almost tormenting, as will the inevitable funerals you have to miss.
I am not saying living on Antigua is jail, but its something between jail and freedom. That is why he will come back and face the charges.
Micon and xenophobia are on opposite sides of the spectrum.
Anyone wanting to put their money where their mouth is that micon serves a day in prison escrow with druff.
To me your only chance is the Feds promising a deal and somehow backing out of the deal while he's in the air.

Semantics. I don't agree with your response but I appreciate it. I don't agree that he will get on a plane without a plea for no prison put in place. I don't agree that antigua isn't sustainable. I don't agree that he will have as many problems as you think in antigua. Antigua is fighting Americans over gambling shit. Micon is fighting Americans over gambling shit. Why would they treat him like a peri ah when they in essence have the same enemy. Why would they do anything but make it easy for him?
To me the only way micon is fucked is if antigua and USA come to am agreement over their gambling shit. Or if micon makes a deal with nevada and they bait and switch him.
My blind read at the time of the incident was that micon chose that country for a real reason. Dandruff acknowledged how right I was and that it went even deeper than I had imagined.
Hearing you people talk of his prison time as if its a foregone conclusion is ludicrous.
Ok so now it's sheboon and sonatine thinking he won't go to prison. Anyone else? Before this revelation it was just me.
I cant keep up with which one of your weird ass personalities is making which argument.
I am betting you $200 that he pleas out and returns to the states and never does a day behind bars.
You are running your lips off about christ only knows what like hes about to be an international fugitive forever.
Are we escrowing the money or do you need to disappear in a cloud of autism after spewing another tardalanche of incomprehensible double negatives?
