Unfortunately in cases like this, the payments (if they come) can take a decade or more, and sometimes never happen. They get buried in appeals, then payment plans, then those are appealed, then the perpetrator dies and his estate sues to eliminate the debt, etc. In the end the victims never see a dime and the perpetrator’s lifestyle is not particularly altered other than having to pay his team of lawyers for the rest of his life.
