I actually disagree. I think this is exactly the kind of case that screams "make an example out of him." They may offer him a plea, but I think the offer will be so bad he will try to take it to court.
They are very limited as to how much they can "stick it to him". This was a completely non violent, white collar, low level "crime". The defendant has zero criminal record. There are specific sentencing guidelines, that prob fall in between probation and a very small amount of jail time in this case. They really don't have much to work with in tryi g to be dicks about it. Unless Micon refuses any deal and won't have it.

But as I said before a plea takes Micon's cushy existence and destroys it. So he might just be dumb enough to fight it or stay on the run.
