Wander00, certainly not. As I've said before he pleaded guilty to negligently carrying out his duty, so clearly expected to be punished. The sentence though seems excessive to me; a dishonourable discharge, and a criminal record (for the suspended prison sentence). Given that he was found not guilty of Perjury and Lying, it seems that he hadn't deceived but had simply made a mistake. A bad one admittedly but as JTO asks, since when was the financial consequence of such a mistake reflected in the severity of the sentence? Since 2017 it would seem.
