They were charged for different crimes and had slightly different roles in perpetuating the fraud within & without the company. Whether or not young white females get more leniency isn’t even quite the issue: That assumes they might get less than deserved. That is a separate questions from whether or not a brown male got more than deserved. The questions may even have some overlap in a Venn diagram but they are not correlated 1:1.

What if Sheryl Sandberg had convinced Mark Zuckerberg to commit some sort of fraud at Facebook and they both got convicted. Can you possibly imagine Sandberg serving more time than Zuckerberg? The ages and age differences are very similar.
