The statutory max is 20 years. And I can tell you that nobody who has little to no criminal history is going to get the max on a run of the mill wire fraud case. The feds routinely take guilty pleas on 1 count, and dismiss the other counts. It does not matter for sentencing.
57 months is a fair sentence for the type of loss Allen incurred. Any time in a federal institution is pretty harsh, let alone 4 1/2 years.
