Two Australian-based failed finance company directors will commute to and from New Zealand to serve sentences of community work.
OPI Pacific Finance directors Mar Lacy and Jason Maywald last month admitted making untrue statements in the offer documents of the company which collapsed owing $247 million.
The pair were back in Auckland for a very brief sentencing this morning, where they both received 200 hours of community work and were each ordered to pay A$100,000 to the company's receivers.
Lacy and Maywald both knew the sentences they were in for, having attended indication hearing in August before Justice Pamela Andrews.
Andrews, at that hearing, concluded that the pair's offending was more than just mere carelessness or misjudgement but not at the level of gross negligence.
