Joe Giudice committed a felony, got sentenced to 41 months in jail and is about to be deported from the United States forever.
One can safely say the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member made a monumental mistake back when he lied to the government and defrauded his adopted country via an intricate and illegal bankruptcy scheme.
But there's at least a silver lining for Giudice:
He now looks great!
The reality star lost a crapload of weight while a warden of the state, proudly showing off his physique in a handful of new social media photos.
Check out the dramatic changes below and then ask yourself:
Is a stint behind bars worth it for this sort of figure?
Here he is on a 2012 episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, likely talking to Teresa about their scheme to defraud American taxpayers... while also looking pretty overweight.
He's holding hands with his wife in 2013 in this snapshot, walking into a courtroom for a hearing after his arrest.
As you can see here (also from 2013), Joe was always a bulky dude. But he has some muscle behind all those pounds.
That, we don't know. But we do know he weighed 215 pounds when he entered prison.
Joe is down to 165 pounds, posting videos of himself online doing kickboxing and other types of exercise.
Joe's kids have also been sharing snapshots of their thin and ripped dad, such as the one here.
