I think his professional status should be taken into account and he should be charged worse than a normal person committing such a crime. Inside knowledge of the industry most likely helped him get away with filing his false claims in a easier fashion than non-industry knowledgable person would have. Why do you think the radio personality went to him in the first place?
While I agree that he should be dwelt with and that he should be held to a higher degree than an average non insurance person, I cannot imagine why he would get 85 years for a $40,000 fraud. I must be missing something here. You can commit murder and manslaughter and get less time.
