Kurland was also sentenced to three years of supervised release.

Supervised release is different than probation or parole as it's served after a defendant is released from prison and is supervised by a probation officer. If he violates the terms/conditions of his supervised release he can be sent back to prison to serve the remaining time of his supervised release.

What will his quality of life be like after he's released? Because he wont have much money, it wont be very good and certai... [ More ]

Hopefully the state Supreme Court is starting the process to permanently disbar him.

He should have only gotten probation at most. He only stole from those who cheated the games so it was basically a case of thieves taking from thieves.

I looked it up and his law license was administratively revoked in NJ. No date was provided. Member since 2001. Not sure what other state bars he might have but I am assuming the same outcome.

I tried checking NY but I need his license # to search.

This guy is beyond greedy. It's really difficult to fathom. In the federal system he must do 85% of his time. Unless he gets into a special program, graduates, and earn additional time off his sentence. But he's going to be down for a number of years rightfully so.

Because of the length of his sentence (13 years) he won't be in a Club Fed initially. He'll start in a medium facility with is sort of relaxed but can be dangerous. He can earn his way down to a low or Club Fed down the line afte... [ More ]

Kurland wont do all 13 years of his sentence and what ever time he actually does do will be spent at a minimum security Federal Detention Center for white collar criminals. (aka Club Fed ) Restitution will be a joke. He doesn't have that kind of money and wont ever have millions again.

And where's the court appointed trustee trying to clawback some of the money that belonged to the people that were scammed? The article makes no mention of anything like that. It does mention forfeiture of 64... [ More ]

He probably has a storage locker filled with cash when he gets out of jail.

Avoiding scams and freeloaders is precisely the reason lottery winners hire guys like this...how awful.

He'll probably serve half that. Ridiculous sentence. He should serve 25 to life for the crimes he did.

I still can't understand how these people made him take so much of the money without them knowing,like what could possibly convince you to make somebody else control your entire bank accounts

I was hoping he would get the maximum of 25 years.

This is at least a hundred million that he stole.

That's Grand Larceny that.

* l seriously doubt Jason will serve the full bit. Eddie Tipton checked out of prison in under 5. I think some of these decisions are based on well no one died, and these millionaires have a lot of money left over. Anyways...
