The judge's decision is more illuminating than the BBC

See https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/usa-v-love-judgment.pdf

Paragraph 15 has equivalent UK maximum sentence of 14 years.

Love's US counsel indicated sentencing guideline would be 10-15 years. Of course the US court could opt for maximums but that will be risky: Subsequent UK extradition decisions will be guided by this new reality and so more likely to fail.
