Last year Jonathan Revill, an IT manager for a company in Leeds, stole nearly GBP19 million from the company with the submission of false orders for IT supplies that he in turn sold for a profit of GBP 5.6 million.
Revill used most of the money to gamble online and after being sentenced to seven years in jail, he once again appeared in the Leeds Crown Court to face a Proceeds of Crime confiscation hearing.
Prosecutor Mehran Nassiri says that GBP 608,909 of Revill's assets remain including a home worth GBP 515,000 and another GBP 21,000 in equity investments.
Judge Christopher Batty sentenced Revill to an additional four years and ordered him to repay the sum.

Big amount of cash, lol! Robbed the company and then sold what he got.. i think he's going away for a long time, I don't know the British law, but at least 10 years would be a great measure. Good brains too, until he got caught, lol.
