How Much Time Could McAfee, Watson Serve?
Decades, potentially. If they are convicted on all counts and receive the maximum sentences, McAfee and Watson will end their lives in prison. McAfee is 75 years old. Watson is 40. The charges carry time of at least 50 years behind bars. But McAfee also is up against separate tax evasion charges, which carry up to an additional 30 years in prison.
The two also face financial penalties, which likely will be hefty.
“When engaging in illegal activity, simply finding new ways to carry out old tricks won’t produce different results,” FBI Assistant Director William F. Sweeney Jr., said in a press release. “Investment fraud and money laundering schemes carry a strict penalty under federal law.”
