No, it's not. The average federal sentence for murder, which takes into account as many cases in which there are mitigating factors as ones where there are aggravating factors, is 20 years.
There are in this particular case no mitigating factors we can see, and several aggravating ones.
Has the average time served at 48% of the sentence at 71 months.
140 months is a shade under 12 years.

Since it's a federal charge, unless he cuts some kind of deal that moots this whole sentence, he will likely serve most of it. There's no federal parole, only a marginal reduction in time for good behavior.
I'll delete my comment and point people to yours, which is more correct :)
You're comparing federal to state sentences. Nothing harmonizes the two, and states generally parole inmates, which the federal system does not. That's not an apples-to-apples comparison.
So if he defrauded 100k people we can say that defrauding one person is 1/50k as bad as murder?
Only if you consider prison to only be punishment and that punishment should scale linearly to the 'badness' of the crime
