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

Please can we stop with all this 'he was sick' and 'his life will be ruined once he gets out'. This man's only ailment was that he was sick of self-love and addled by the bought affection of his Lebanese bit on the side. Why would one assume that this man is going to endure genuine hardship once he gets out the can in a year and a half? He's 26 years PQE and has been an equity partner for more than a decade (earning a 30x multiple of national mean earnings every year): I think it's safe to say he'll live a comfortable life even if he never works again. Instead spare a thought for all those who were convicted on trumped-up charges in protest/riot scenarios - and who'll never work again due to the CRB system.
