co-author “Sonic” and former studio head Yuji Naka’s Sonic Team received reprieve from prison for 4 years – it was previously reported that he was sentenced to a term of 2.5 years for insider trading.

The July 7 trial confirmed the data on the term of imprisonment, but now there is also a clause on the postponement. In addition, the author must pay two fines – in the amount of 14 thousand dollars and 1.1 million dollars.

In the past, Naka has invested in the shares of two companies, because before the official announcement, he learned regarding the creation Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier and Dragon Quest Tact.

During the suspension period, the former developer must fulfill the terms of the sentence (fines) and not break the law – if Naka fulfills the agreement, then he will have a chance to avoid prison.
