Nortons current state

It's how the legal system is geared, steal at a corporate level and you get off lightly in the UK because it's so common and probably more common amongst politicians and ex-politicians. But steal from the govt by claiming a state benefit or a tax relief you're not entitled to and the penalties are much more severe over what might just be a few thousand pounds.
Look at the recent failures by the top auditors like KPMG - who is in jail for their failures over, to name just one, Carillion ? Nobody. One person fined £150k which for a partner at KPMG is almost irrelevant, plus he can't practice for three years, big deal ! Carillion went down owing £7bn, 3000 people lost their jobs and 100s of smaller contractors and several larger businesses well out of pocket. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jan/18/c...
Even the directors who "...presented accounts that misrepresented the reality of the business and increased its dividends come what may." https://www.ft.com/content/d50b92ef-c7f9-4f32-aeb5... were just barred from running businesses. Compare this to the sentences for benefits fraud: https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/outlines/bene...
If you're expecting Garner to go down for years I think you'll be disappointed. And much of the money will be hidden.
