Clearly we need a "Saved You A Click" community... this article's title sucks and it takes way too long to get to the point.

The answer is 12.5 to 22 years.

For a defendant with no prior criminal convictions, an offense level of 37 yields 210 to 262 months (17 1/2 to almost 22 years). A defendant who accepted responsibility could reduce that range to 151 to 188 months if the prosecution agreed to deduct the third point.
