Appeal allowed: given the period between admission and prosecution and the appellant's conduct since admission, the court suspended the concurrent two-month sentences for two years; fines were lawful but further fines were adjusted to comply with section 82 limits while maintaining a total fine of $160,000; community service was inappropriate and immediate custody remains an established principle for tax evasion but was mitigated by delay.
