You do know Romano was only fined $8000 and was allowed to pay it $500 a month,with 5 year probation.
Really don't think the government is going to offer much filliping for such a SMALL case.
Heck the fine probably doesn't even cover the cost of bringing the case to trial.
Unlike a few here, the Judge apparently didn't think it was that big a deal.
