We think the Fed underestimates this linkage, in part by using the trade-weighted value of the dollar rather than the absolutevalue (the trade-weighted dollar mixes together changes in the dollar with changes in the value of foreign currencies).
In the judgement of Rakoff, not only does he disagree with the absolutevalue set by the use of FSG, but he is also known for giving credit, a lesser prison term, to those like Gupta who have shown that they have lived an honorable life up until the time of their offense.
