I hope they confiscated all his gear as well as everyone that was involved, otherwise it's just a slap o the wrist.
(how long till fluke season again???)

I'm glad to see he had to pay all the money back. Restitution is better than a fine and slap on the wrist. I don't want to see people lose their livilihoods but he deserves too. The rules are there for a reason and they may suck but you need to play by them.

$632,000 and he get 7 months. Some person embezzles $50K and they get 5 year!!

Did a search since I can't get the article anymore and the government conspiracy type wack-jobs are up in arms about how excessive the punishment is for the poor guy. As always, there are a pile of tough on crime blow hards unless it is a crime they approve.

Feel sorry for what ?
This ass clown knew exactly what he was doing.
Just thought he could pull it off.
Enjoy the cold gang showers !
That 630k will never be paid btw.

When someone has to pay restitution like that how does it get collected? Is it a payroll deduction, lien on property or just a "I promise to pay it back"?

It's usually paid through the probation department, which can hauls his ass back before the judge if he's delinquent. A Federal sentence almost always includes some form of post-release supervision.

he would have got more time for a few ounces of weed.. but $603,000 in restitution. is no joke if its ever collected

Never trust a man with two first names

Good! It is rare that poachers get much of anything.

Government officials embezzle JohnQPublic and get cushy lobbying gigs. Yep, system is rigged

its good to see poachers finally get a stiff penalty for ripping off the public.....

long overdue.
