It took almost 2 years (with all the appeals and stays and whatnot) to finally get his ass reporting to a prison July 1st, 2024.

The same would and will happen with 45 unfortunately (assuming he did get sentenced to that). And no matter what the sentence (including fines or even something like "probation" ), he WILL appeal it as long as he can.
