Braun was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison by District Court Judge Kiyo Matsumoto in 2021 for failing to adhere to the terms of his supervised release. He will only serve 20 of those months as he has been detained in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center since this spring. Despite the commutation, the terms of his supervised release included strict behavioral guidelines and a fine of $100,000, both of which Braun violated according to federal prosecutors.

Those crimes included putting his live-in nanny in a headlock, grabbing her breast and forcing her hand onto her genitals in February; menacing a nurse at Mount Sinai South Hospital in January by swinging an IV pole at her and threatening to fing kill her; menacing and grabbing the arm of a congregant of a synagogue in May; and repeatedly evading bridge tolls while driving a Lamborghini and Ferrari.
