sydney finnie goes to jail
* Sydney Thomas Finnie, a 62-year-old finance broker, had previous convictions for fraud, was on bail, and had defied a Supreme Court order than he not act as a finance broker when he was arrested on 17 fresh charges of having stolen $600,000 from his clients. He said he was depressed and had prostate cancer. A District Court judge commended him as an "industrious person" who owned one of Australia's largest car dealerships, before sentencing him to three years' jail with a non-parole period of 18 months. On this occasion, the Court of Criminal Appeal almost doubled the sentence - to four years and four months, with a minimum of two years and 10 months.

Yep they are still at it in 2014. Don't know about all the family involvement currently by certainly Syd changed his name yet again to Thomas Clinton and is currently before the court for the same stuff. It is though hard to imagine that given the amount of money involved currently, and the lack of visual earning capacity of Syd, that at least one of the family members did not ask "where did all that money come from?" If not you have to ask why not?
