Deep Cover · The Limits of Manifesting Success with James Forman, Jr. · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

There are countries, European countries, that in essence have the maximum sentence with the rare exception of the mass murderer, right?

They basically have the maximum sentence is 20 years.

That's the longest you can get for any crime.

I'm somebody who believes that we should import that model here.

And the impact of that is then it pushes everything else down.

To me, this is a crime that did not involve a weapon and did not involve an act of violence.

Nobody was shot.

Nobody was stabbed.

It was a monetary crime.

In my opinion, a crime like that shouldn't be getting 20 years.

And so, and if we had a maximum for very serious crimes of 20 years, then you might look at it and say, oh, well, we're giving 20 years to the guy who, like, murdered somebody.

Well, we're not going to give Keith Giamonco 20 years.

Yeah, I was thinking about the tellers.

I mean, to me, when I think about the victims here, overwhelmingly...

the ones that I think about are the tellers.

I understand that the banks were victimized to an extent, but it's those tellers that I'll always remember.

And if I was a prosecutor and I was thinking about whose interests am I trying to protect and whose interests am I trying to vindicate, for me, it would be those people that came to work to do their job, who were harmed and who were hurt by the actions of this man.

And

I know from talking to other people who have been victims of crime that often in those circumstances, what people are looking for is that basic human interaction of having somebody to look them in the eye and say, what I did to you was wrong, and I'm sorry.

And I'm going to tell you a little bit about why, about who I am and what led me to that day.
