As an example a guest speaker at a luncheon, the free meal has financially benefitted him.
If he has publicly used the medals to increase his standing in society and has been a trustee of any organisation?
Understood, thank you. It rather depends when he "put the gongs up" ............. if an affectation after achieving top job, not a lot of gain. Either way, he has stuffed himself, and even if not guilty and not punished, his reputation is shot.
Chinese proverb: a good reputation endureth for ever. And the converse.
