Punish him?

For what, excelling at capitalism?

Genuine capitalism doesn't involve fraud.

From the article:

After “work”, he went home to his smart council flat, in Fulham, west London. …
IIRC, a council flat is a taxpayer-paid housing benefit for the poor. Since he was making substantial income, he wasn't poor and his housing benefit was obtained by fraud.

I'd also presume that Britain has some sort of an income tax that he should have been paying on that (again, presumably) unreported income.

Yeah... My responses were sarcasm, but I didn’t label it that way.

Plus, I had time to read more in depth, and have since mentioned that I see the crime.

Thanks for filling me in on more of the details. I haven’t had time to read the article at the link.

My bad.
