He was sentenced to one year and six months – three months of which he must serve in prison – and the judge confiscated 2m Danish kroner (half of which will be taken from the man and half from his company). He was also fined 200,000 Danish kroner.

lol good ol' Norwegian justice system. This would likely be 10+ years in the US. It also refutes the common argument that lenient sentencing or 'rehabilitative justice' is a better deterrent compared to the more punitive US justice system. Crime would likely be way, way worse in the US if it adopted Northern Europe's lax standards of sentencing.
