I don't think Glenn Wheatley ripped off thousands of Australians though.
Didn't he just send money off shore to avoid paying tax. Wouldn't we all
do
that if we could? Anyway he pleaded guilty and paid the money back - I'm
not
sure 15 months in jail was warranted. Absolutely, its still a crime but it
really is less serious than all the other crimes mentioned. I never
understood why he didn't appeal the sentence though - perhaps there was
something we didn't know.
