Defendant, a long‑serving chairman of a trust, committed obtaining property by deception by diverting developers' payment to entities he controlled; starting point adopted was four years nine months, reduced by 30% (18 months) for long public service and by nine months for age/health, producing an effective sentence of two years six months imprisonment; no reparation order made because defendant lacked means and Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act procedures were the appropriate mechanism.
