A former Sydney media executive who created false invoices for over a decade to siphon more than $8 million from the Seven Network has been jailed for at least three years.

John Michael Fitzgerald told a psychologist he wasn’t sure why he stole the money as “I wasn’t doing it tough” but referred to having a mid-life crisis and that it was “too easy to do”.
