FIRDAUS RIZAL BIN ABDUL MANAN

FIRDAUS RIZAL BIN ABDUL MANAN

The court found aggravating factors (offending from 2012 to 2019, large cumulative losses involving multiple victims, no restitution, separate transactions involving different parties) outweighed mitigating factors (age, family dependents, health, guilty pleas). Therefore the court imposed custodial sentences and fines for each count and directed sentences to run separately (consecutively) rather than concurrently; corporal punishment was limited given health considerations.
