Ex-Hogan Lovells partner jailed for three years over £1.27m fraud

@ 12:03 A: doesn't have a stake in society B: has a £1m equity stake in Hogan Lovells A & B decide to loot. Who should the courts come down hard on, assuming they stole goods to the same value (even though on the facts, there's a massive disparity)? However, the public policy response is: A: emergency through-the-night courts to mete out OTT sentences B: an impotent (and soon to be defunct) SFO doing nothing & sympathetic courts giving a lenient sentence
