TNTNeal The actions of these scalpers is reprehensible, but having been to state prison for $20 worth of blow at the age of 18 myself, I don't wish that upon anyone but society's severe offenders. The sentences meted out in that NJ court are too light, no doubt, but five years in prison would be absurdly unjustified. I don't know why anyone would find them not getting the max surprising in this situation. I wouldn't even agree with one year IF this is their first offense. I would have been happy with five year probation sentences and reparations paid to non-profits such as the Mockingbird Foundation. That would have been half a Decade of supervision. Let's be real, their actions in obtaining their tickets were illegal, but they didn't actually actually steal anything. They paid for the tickets they got and then grossly I inflated the retail price paid by the end-user. Exxon does the same thing to us every day at the pump and the Feds aren't doing shit about them, either.
