Kerry Buddle - Mortgage Broker ripped off clients $1.8m
Yeah its a ridiculously long wait - I wonder if that will lengthen her jail time. It should - she's free and has been for four years while her victims suffer injustice.
The wheels of justice move slowly indeed.
The flip side to her being free is that she has had this hanging over her for those years also - had to move onto the next stage, whatever that may be.
A Feilding woman accused of running a loan scam is yet to enter pleas to separate charges of benefit fraud.
Kerry Lynette Buddle, 33, appeared in the Palmerston North District Court today on three charges of dishonestly using a document, laid by the Ministry of Social Development.
Ministry prosecutor Pip Transom said the prosecution was a "relationship case", with Buddle accused of claiming about $35,000 benefit money to which she was not entitled.
In crimes like those, wouldn't it be better if neither jail
nor home detention was used - rather, sent to work
under some sort of supervision, with a percentage of
her pay going to a fund to repay victims. Better yet, she takes out a mortgage, from which her victims all
get a pro rata pay out, then she works to pay it off.
Why does she deserve job over and above a law abiding person seeking employment ?
She is bankrupt.....mortgage? Who from?
She also owes the taxpayer $35,000 for benefit fraud.
Prison is the place for her.
Yep prison is the place for her - she's a likely re-offender too - a news item said. I hope for the victims sake she remains behind bars for at least a year. She's had far too long without punishment so her time has come and her victims have closure and get can now get on with their lives.
