Summary:  [Matthew Joyce] (male voiceover): "I am shocked by the extremity of today's verdict. My family and I are still coming to terms with it. I have received 10 years' jail, the maximum possible sentence, and a fine of AU$25 million, which is double the loss alleged by the prosecution." [Angela Higgins], WIFE OF MATTHEW JOYCE (female voiceover): "I am devastated by this result. ... Matt needs his family's help now more than ever and we will be staying with him in Dubai to support him through the appeal." ELLENOR COX, FRIEND OF MATTHEW JOYCE: When we first heard the case against Matt, it was utter disbelief that this could be the case. Matt is the most honest and upstanding person that we've met in both a professional and a personal sense. And utter disbelief. And all we could think was, "This is a huge mistake. This will all be over quickly."
