The court held there was ample evidence of an agreement to defraud and thus dismissed the convictions appeals (for those argued); it affirmed a four-year starting point for this species of employment fraud, allowed a limited deduction for unreasonable prosecutorial delay (three months), reduced the excessive two‑year enhancement for prior convictions to nine months, quashed the 5 years 9 months sentences for the 2nd and 3rd defendants and substituted 4 years 6 months, and left the 4th and 5th defendants' sentences at 3 years 9 months.
