If we look at the Ryan Tandy case as a benchmark, Lewis could escape prison.
But then maybe get a life time ban from Football Australia??
If so no idea if such a ban would prevent him playing elsewhere. Where would FIFA step in?

The saga is considered the biggest sports corruption scandal in Australia's football codes since the National Rugby League's Ryan Tandy affair in 2010.

The saga is considered the biggest sports corruption scandal in Australia's football codes since the National Rugby League's Ryan Tandy affair in 2010.
In that case, while playing for the Canterbury-Bansktown Bulldogs, Tandy was found to have manipulated the first points scored in a match. He was banned from the NRL for life and served a six-month intensive correction order.
While Wednesday's sentencing hearing would end the legal process for Lewis, there were likely further ramifications to come.
It is understood Football Australia would run a separate disciplinary process for each of the players, with heavy sanctions expected.
New Zealand Football said it was unable to comment on Lewis' future while he was before the courts.
"New Zealand Football have been kept aware of Clayton Lewis' situation, have been in contact with him with offers of support, and he continues to be supported by the [NZ Professional Footballers Association]," the organisation said in a statement.
