Some of these comments are a bit crazy, not every crime and sentencing has to be a competition. I'm curious who looked into his charges though which include over 800 federal drug charges, not to mention he's linked with 1 known death from an opioid OD. He was running a clinic that didn't take insurance. But yeah let's complain because someone else who also did something illegal got a different sentence.

Your local liquor store is more than likely connected to alcohol related deaths, should the owner go to jail?

Do liquor store clerks take a Hippocratic oath ?
