| Malachi said: Whatever the punishment is fitting or not really depend on what happen if he can't pay the fine. Jail, if so, how many years? Can he declare bankruptcy and be regelated to the cash economy for a numbers of years like with other kind of debt? 1.3 million is a big number but what actually matter is the consequence of the fine on the guy, not really the fine itself. |
I can agree with that.
I have no knowledge of the Australian law, so I can't say how the guys sentence will be handled, or whether he can declare personal bankruptcy or not. But I'd at least start with something that the guy can actually accomplish without completely wrecking the rest of his life - an excessive punishment benefits no one and hurts everyone in a situation like this.
