Is that a normal sentence for white-collar crime in Britain? It's a terrible thing do to obviously, but 13 years is a long time. Compared to Denmark at least.

He scammed a children's cancer charity, I don't know exactly where that sits in the peoples hierarchy of evil in relation to murder but I'd wager that it's close
