Richard Garriott<\/a> over a period of years.<\/p>\nHis attorneys tried to argue for a much lighter sentence, in which effort they were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
Hank Lee (Harry Levy) is only 61 years old and still young enough to move on with his life when all this is over. Hopefully he realizes the mistake he made and the humility he has caused himself and his family. Hank Lee’s magic Factory remains open and I know he still has at least some loyal customers.<\/p>\n
I will always try and remember the good side of Hank, and still have found memories as I go through some of his old paper catalogs in my collection. Good wishes and God bless his family too, as they try and deal with all this and put together the pieces of their lives.<\/p>\n

In the end, he was given two years of imprisonment, two years additional probation and must make full restitution of the $560,000 he stole from the credit card of the victim Richard Garriott<\/a> over a period of years.<\/p>\n
