He's still out and about AFAIK.

I have a feeling he's going to get a slap on the wrist and go on his merry way.

"There has been no sentencing hearing scheduled yet for Sorenson, who took a plea deal that required him to testify at trial against the three operatives."

So I don't exactly how the law reads, but it looks like you are probably right.

Does Kent get to keep the 73K?

I haven't heard or read anything about an actual sentence. Quite the delay, but I suppose they're keeping him on a leash and feeding him in exchange for testimony against the other crooks.

Not sure what the letter of the law is, i.e., whether admission of guilt to a federal crime automatically confers felony status on him, or whether actual sentencing is required for such. Whatever the case, he's a conniving and deplorable POS.

I hope he gets more than a slap on the wrist.
