Message: [QUOTE="GCKSFN4L, post: 4409918, member: 11389"] I do think it's worth mentioning that Fogel's amount was actually a large scale amount and unlike BG it is believed he was actively trying to smuggle drugs and was found with 10+ cartridges in his suitcases and even hid some in his contact lens cases. While any American whose is sentenced right now is in part a victim of current geopolitics , I do believe that Fogel's case would likely be similar at any time based on how much he had plus how he got caught trying to hide it. I personally believe BG's case especially with how little she had, was escalated more due to both politics and her fame mostly, but some of the other qualities about her definitely definitely wouldn't help her in a Russian court either. I hope she gets out soon, preferably before she gets sent to a new jail. [/QUOTE]
