An ac­coun­tant, who de­fraud­ed the Law As­so­ci­a­tion of al­most $400,000, has re­ceived a $50,000 fine.

Ran­dall Sa­hadeo re­ceived the sen­tence from High Court Judge Nali­ni Singh on Mon­day af­ter plead­ing guilty to lar­ce­ny and 13 mon­ey laun­der­ing charges.

In her writ­ten de­ci­sion, Jus­tice Singh said a prison sen­tence was in­ap­pro­pri­ate based on the cir­cum­stances of the case in­clud­ing Sa­hadeo tak­ing steps to re­pay the mon­ey to the as­so­ci­a­tion be­fore the end of his crim­i­nal pro­ceed­ings.
