A more appropriate response would be "what's your basis for saying these things?" The number of counts could have zero impact on the final sentence - what if the one count is conspiracy and the 14 counts are all substantive acts within that conspiracy? All the 14 counts would be grouped together anyway for purposes of the sentencing guidelines in this case. And you also failed to factor in the impact of 5K1 letter on Bill's sentencing. Other than all that you were right.
