Likely the missing word is Year - ie: he get three years probation after release.

That makes sense. I just figured that an official release from a government site (I checked the URL after I stumbled on this sentence a couple times to make sure it wasn't some random law blog, but an official .gov site) would be a bit better proof-read, so didn't want to assume. Also, I probably still need another 30 minutes for the coffee this morning to fully suffuse into my being so I can function like a normal person.

Also this, with directionality of "bribe" reversed:

>Mr. Kail chose which IT contracts were awarded by Netflix according to how he was able to bribe those companies to provide him with financial compensation

Little bit weird but it's not wrong. He bribed the companies with contracts to get them to give him a kickback.

I'm 99% certain that should say "three-year term."
