At this rate it will take him more than 5 years to pay it back, meantime the victim is wearing it, and that is IF he makes the payments. But as the judge said, there is the real amount, and there is what the criminal could be expected to be capable of paying, so she went with that. Pretty sure that 5 years of paying $300.00 a week will have this guy wishing he had never done it.And then there is the cost to the orchardists who ordered hives but didn't get them, no doubt costing them a portion of their crop. No compensation for them.Of course there is. The thief has not revealed who his accomplices are, so has not fully cooperated with the police. The mastermind is still out there and will find some other flunky to do his stuff for him plus take the blame, next time.</blockquote>
