A serial fraudster and rent dodger in Halifax has won full parole and is on a trajectory to a better life, according to an assessment from the Parole Board of Canada. He was ordered to pay $29,000 in restitution to his victims, including Cole Harbour landlord Jason Selby, who lost $12,000 in rent, plus thousands more in damage to his home. On Friday, Jason Selby told CBC News he's seen "not a penny" of court-ordered restitution. "Hopefully he's taken the time to reflect, and taken the opportunity to change his ways," Selby said. "It is important that you remain productively occupied or your risk to reoffend would increase," the report said.
