So at 40% prison time he’ll serve about 2 years. £250,000 a year; turns out crime does pay.

Theft and fraud seems to be such a big problem for society these days that neither this or the previous government care anything about combatting. What happened to the pre-election promise of thousands more police officers? Turn arounds take time, but it’s a year later now and police numbers continue to fall (in London at least).

Imagine stealing £500k and only having £7k to show for it. I’m guessing the rest was probably gambled and snorted.

This is a bit ridiculous. There should be an attachment of earnings on anything he earns in perpetuity or until he’s repaid the lot.

I don’t understand why they can’t garnish his future earnings until it’s paid back with interest. That money must have gone somewhere, he must have some assets to sell off.
I’ve seen videos online of swindlers going into elderly people’s homes and swindling them, I can’t stay much makes me more angry than that and imagining my own family being in that position.

A real deterrent, steal 500k and only lose 7k. Yes there is a prison sentence but how many people can earn that much in that length of a sentence, not many

Hope he was paying his taxes to HMRC
Where are the tax evasion charges?

That’ll set an example, it’s much much much less than paying tax

Mental. He’s spent £490k and he doesn’t even have a house to sell?
