Each case is taken on merit, so yes, it looks like double standards, but one of these guys was on licence so that will mean he gets a tougher sentence. I know there are issues with our legal system, but it needs a deeper reading to see why sentences are brought.

Thank you - I still think there is that underlying issue of too great an emphasis placed on potential / actual monetary loss and not other harm. Of course this doesn’t apply in our legal system if you swindle millions in the city

The other problem is the withdrawal of legal aid. These guys will hire the best lawyers, the octogenarian widow would get little legal aid. That's a disgrace.
