Looks quite ridiculous next to higgins
Higgins was never found guilty of match fixing, his guilty verdict was for bringing the game into disrepute for failing to report an approach

Or more specifically he was seen as a bigger potential loss to the game

its very naive to believe that line in fairness.

on camera offering to chuck games, they deemed it serious enough to ban his manager for life.

Point being is that you can't compare the 2 punishments because technically they aren't for the same crime.

That maybe true but it's a different discussion to comparing the punishments they both got. A sentence can only be passed on the crime they were found guilty for. Whether we like it or not, Higgins was found not guilty, Lee wasn't

Barry Hearn, who took over as World Snooker chairman two years ago and set up an integrity unit headed by former detective chief superintendent Nigel Mawer, has promised a "zero-tolerance" approach to cheating.

"I am independent and outside the organisation and have a law enforcement background, and all the intelligence on irregular betting comes to me," said Mawer.
