Maximum 5 years, and released pending sentencing. I see a wrist slap coming.
I am always amused with media coverage of white collar crime. It is usually reported so and so could get up to 20 years. Shock value comment by the media. They always note the high end possibility. Usually the sentence boils down to 1-3 years or a suspended sentence with the old favorite "community service".

I’m losing all faith in USPS. I had an expensive registered mail package delivered to my office earlier this week. I got a tracking notification saying it was “delivered to agent.” I spoke with my front desk and no package had arrived. I called USPS and they told me it had been left with someone at my office building that morning. After much head scratching, worry and wasted time I was finally told that the package was left in my office’s lock box in the downstairs mail room. I asked why the USPS agent didn’t come upstairs to my front desk and get signature for delivery as required. Supervisor said it was sufficient to mark “Covid” on the delivery receipt and to leave it downstairs in my building. He said I should’ve let them know in advance if I wanted signature delivery (despite the shipper having already selected and paid for this service). It all turned out ok, but that would have been a very expensive insurance claim if the package was lost due to USPS negligence.
Just had the same thing happen to me yesterday. Registered mail package from NGC. Sitting at my desk at work, and I get notification from informed delivery that my package was delivered, and left with an individual. Huh? I'm sitting right here. Call the wife, make she she didn't go home sick or something. Nope, she's at work. So I call the post office. Explain what's going on, that if they indeed left it with an individual, it wasn't the right one. Post office worker says she will look into it and call me back.
Get a call 30 minutes later. The mailman said he just put it in my mailbox. So not left with an individual, not signed for, nothing. Basically just another piece of mail. He eventually went back to my house, removed the package, and left notice to pick it up.
I get the whole COVID aspect of it. But to charge for registered mail, and then pull that crap, is just wrong.
