Time to kibitz on the likely sentence! You can get the federal sentencing guidelines here:

They're long and mostly not relevant except for the sections pertaining to Holmes conduct.

Here's the indictment:

Holmes was found guilty of one 18 USC 1349 charge, and 3 18 USC 1343 charges; the 1343's she was found guilty on were in amounts ranging from $100k to $100MM(!).

It should be possible to come up with a better guess than the New York Times' "20 years per count, but likely served concurrently".
