How many years can a person expect to serve of a 288 yr sentence (in a case such as this)?

You're putting the cart before the horse. He hasn't been sentenced to 288 years. That is the maximum that he could face. And it's quite unlikely, in my opinion, that he will get the whole 288 years.
If he got as little a 30% of the max then its a moot point. Unless one gets life for tax crimes in the states then there is some typical expectation which falls far short of 288 years. What kind of zone would he fall into.
Ireland? He'd get 10 be out in 5.

It may well be, given the large number of charges and the fairly large sums of money involved, that either of them might get sentences that would, for all practical purposes, keep them in prison for the rest of their lives. In that event, their only remaining option would be Presidential clemency.
Your kidding me! Life (or a serious proportion of it) for the theft of money?!!

Re: What great news.
Fantastic news. May he be sentenced to all 288 years to be served consecutively. And may his wife get all 225 also to be served consecutively.
Jar, your looking more like the sickest of psycos with every elapsing minute. God have mercy (and I do say it with extreme difficulty) on your black soul.
{AbE} This is it folks. We've been over it all over the years. The fine intellectual arguments, the debate, the argument, the points sharply tuned, the rebuttals equally so. To arrive at the above.
This is the blackest, most ugly statement I have seen in all my time here bar none. We all know what we are capable of and if we were 'caught' doing it then 288 years would have to apply to us to. You either know that or you don't - I cannot help you there.
This is sin demonstrating how vile it is. The only thing is that you can see it too. Don't concentrat on who said it. Concentrate on what was said. I don't condemn Jar for saying what he said. He just brought the pimple of ugliness that is sin to the yellow, puss- filled surface that allows us all to see it (sin) for what it is. Look at it: are you repelled? If you are (and I dearly hope you are) then what is said is the most convincing thing I have seen here for the argument for sin. The Bible says that it has infected you, me, Faith and all the rest of mankind
You must be repelled. If you are you now have a glimpse as to why God is repelled. If you are not, then God have mercy on your soul too.

I have a moderate level of confidence that this information is somewhat accurate and will give some idea what the Hovinds may be looking at, but it should be considered far from authoritative and I will defer to anyone else's judgment who has greater expertise than I do.
I'm not holding you to anything at all. I was in the high court once and to be honest I'd prefer the certainty offered by the roulette table.
Take the best stab you can.
Total convicted time/ likely time served?
{AbE}oh yeah..with a % plus/minus if you could. I'd like to sleep tonight
