US Probation Office: Still recommends sentencing Zhao Changpeng to 5 months in prison

According to Foresight News, TheVerge reporter Elizabeth Lopatto reported that the U.S. Probation Office still recommended a five-month prison sentence in Zhao Changpeng's trial, which they believed was enough to deter the defendant and others, but would not be unnecessarily harsh. This would be one of the longest sentences ever imposed in the United States for such behavior.

CoinDesk reporter @nikhileshde also added that the U.S. Probation Office said that if the five-month sentence is not imprisonment, it should be house arrest in the United States.
