I wonder if he realizes that his behavior (substantiated by compelling evidence) was “grotesque”.

At the same time he violated laws meant to protect investor from losses. But if they didn't actually lose something, it would make sense to have a modest sentence. Not knowing what his reckless behavior actually caused would make the sentencing frivolous in my opinion.

That's not how it works. "No one got hurt" is a facile exoneration, and untrue at that. He didn't break the law "less" because by twist of fortune money showed up in the account sometime down the line.
