Legally, there are 2:

Death OR minimum 5 year imprisonment and $10,000 fine.
The second one seems terribly lenient.
Dimed and fined

The law does say "not less than" meaning it can be any amount more than that the court deems acceptable. So, I would think "everything you own" and life in prison would be a reasonable alternative if the death sentence is stayed for any reason.
