Swindler punished for duping elderly woman on Facebook with false $350,000 lottery win

An Auckland man was sentenced to home detention with a warning that he would go to jail if it happened a third time. He was involved in the deception of two businesses out of tens of thousands of dollars using fictitious invoices, as well as an elderly Facebook user who was tricked into believing she had won a $350,000 lottery.

For each money laundering charge, he could have received sentences of up to seven years in prison today.

This is good from the authorities that they have not given punishment to the individual but have actually given it a warning so that he can rectify his mistakes if he keeps on repeating his mistakes then they should definitely think about giving him a punishment because they have actually given him much chances and they should now think about the people that are being affected due to him as well
