I assume that he was found guilty by a jury in federal court and is awaiting sentencing by the judge. It is not likely he will get probation or a "minimum" sentence. Talk with his lawyer about the range of punishment and the likely sentence. The court will have a presentence investigation report it reviews that will contain information about the offense, any victims, and the defendant. The judge has a wide range of punishment s/he can assess.
