Hide AdWhiffing admitted possessing cannabis, intent to supply cannabis, two counts of acquiring criminal property, converting criminal property, and production of cannabis.
Judge Timothy Mousley KC told Whiffing: ‘Your part was significant. Your role was a management function in which you would make significant gains.’
The judge said there was a ‘chequered history’ with proceedings but the five-year ‘delay was not your fault’.
He added: ‘It’s quite plain to me you have been rehabilitated.’
Whiffing was handed 16 months jail suspended for 18 months and told to complete 150 hours unpaid work.
