Okay the chatter I saw was 4 to 5 years, all charges served concurrently

I think the difference is the maximum possible time he could be sentenced to (i.e. if he got the maximum for everything, and all sentences were served consecutively) vs. what is likely (based on general sentencing guidelines, as well as precedents from similar cases.)

I doubt he would receive a decades-long sentence. (There would have to be extenuating circumstances for him to get the maximum... previous criminal history, higher amounts of fraud, etc.) The 4-5 years is more likely.

I think morally he deserves a much longer sentence. (He's been involved with the Trump organization for a long time, and they've likely done a LOT of illegal activity in that time.) But, he is currently only charged with a limited number of crimes, so legally he won't be facing a lengthy sentence. (My main concern is that even if he does get sentenced to 4-5 years, they'll release him early because of his age, or because of prison overcrowding, or whatever.)
