A couple months ago the findings against Hunter Biden were nothing, not even worth taking to court, only under GOP pressure did the Trump appointed prosecutor take it to court. Now it seems like a big deal and 17 years (max). What happened? Why the change? Was new evidence found?

It's basically regular Rich person crime, but they did something wrong during the trial proceedings that would normally lead to a deal to lower the sentence.
