Well, six months, anyway. For building 15 homes without any license, having them declared illegal by the courts and still selling the bloody things on.

6 months means he doesn’t actually go to prison, and the 2 year construction industry ban means he’ll be ready to go when the slump ends. And there’s no reputational damage because we don’t know his surname. So unless the fine was more than he stole, it’s difficult to see what will convince him not to behave in a similar fashion in future.
All in all, it worked out quite well for him, didn’t it? 🙂
