kurumnakliyat.comGuy Sebastian's long-timer manager has been jailed for a minimum two-and-a-half years for embezzling more than $600,000 from his star client. Titus Day was sentenced to a maximum four years in prison by Judge Tim Gartelmann at 's Downing Centre District Court on Thursday afternoon. Judge Gartelmann said the offences 'all were committed for financial gain' but it could not be established beyond reasonable doubt that 49-year-old Day was motivated by greed. 'There is no evidence of remorse as the offender maintains his innocence - nor is there any evidence regarding prospects of rehabilitation,' Judge Gartelmann said. He found Day re-offending was nonetheless unlikely. Guy Sebastian's former manager Titus Day was found guilty in June of embezzling $624,675 from the singer.

The court case pitted two men who were once extremely close against each other and dragged in their wives, who had also been friends.

All considered his offending out of character. Singer Tina Arena was among those who provided a reference for Day, describing him as 'someone she trusts' and a man with 'honesty and integrity'. The trial was beset by woes, including the death of original judge Peter Zahra, the dismissal of five jurors from a panel of 15 and Sebastian and Crown Prosecutor David Morters SC contracting. While it was Day fighting for his liberty, Sebastian said he felt he was on trial during the hearing and most of the media attention focused on him. The Voice judge was forced to reveal intimate details of his finances, including sometimes astronomical fees for performances and so-called 'contra' deals. Jurors heard the astronomical figures Sebastian was paid for performances, including $494,360 to support Taylor Swift (above) during the Australian leg of her 2013 world tour The ARIA Award-winner was in the witness box for more than a week giving evidence in chief before Mr Morters and under cross-examination by Day's barrister Dominic Toomey SC. Sebastian - who never signed a contract with Day - had so much money coming in from so many sources he did not notice hundreds of thousands of dollars missing from his bank account for years.

They also included $57,086.93 for a performance in Singapore and $77,042.96 from a Dreamworld ambassadorship. Day contended some of the money was withheld to pay expenses and buy shares on Sebastian's behalf but Judge Gartelmann did not find evidence to support those suggestions. Sebastian gave evidence he had been given a boat, international air fares and the use of two Toyota LandCruisers for himself and his wife instead of cash payment from major companies. Day, a qualified lawyer, had first managed Sebastian in 2007 while working for 22 Management. Sebastian had about nine months left on a three-year contract when Day approached him in July 2009 to join his own new company 6 Degrees. A jury found Titus Day guilty in June of embezzling $624,675 from his former client Guy Sebastian after deliberating for almost a week. Sebastian is pictured with wife Jules      The performer had an agreement with Day under which the agent was to receive a 20 per cent commission on his earning and was paying his manager $500,000 a year. Sebastian terminated the arrangement in November 2017 in what became an acrimonious split. He subsequently found 'anomalies' in financial records suggesting he was still owed payments by Day and in July 2018 launched a civil claim against him. Day made a counter claim against Sebastian alleging he was owed money, which led to an examination of the agent's banking records revealing further anomalies. Sebastian then went to police. Day told police the chart-topper owed him $1.2million in outstanding commissions. Sebastian (above) had so much money coming in from so many sources he did not notice hundreds of thousands of dollars missing from his bank account for years Mr Toomey took Sebastian through invoices, payment statements and banking records, many of which the singer said he did not recall ever seeing. At one point a frustrated Sebastian told Mr Toomey. 'I am not forensically skilled… when it comes to money and numbers it is pretty clearly not my forte.'  Sebastian told the court some of what Day did for him required a 'heavy work load' but for other tasks he needed 'very little' assistance. Day's contribution to marketing Sebastian's song writing and television appearances was negligible. Day would 'hardly ever rock up' when he was a judge on The X Factor, evDeN eVe nakliyat for instance, 'but will take a $200,000 fee'. Sebastian denied he felt 'great animosity' towards Day, saying he instead felt 'great disappointment' in his former agent. 'I have a lot of confusion as to now it's got to this point,' he said. Singer Tina Arena (above) was among those who provided a character reference for Day, describing him as 'someone she trusts' and a man with 'honesty and integrity' In another exchange, Mr Toomey suggested to Sebastian he was 'earning a large sum of money' during his time under Day's management. 'Not as large as it should have been, Mr Toomey,' he said. Mr Toomey quizzed Sebastian about 'contra' payments, which involved receiving goods for his services rather than money. Sebastian agreed he been involved in ambassadorships with Bose, AirAsia, Canon and Yamaha and accepted a Bluefin boat as payment for performing at a festival in Queensland. Mr Toomey asked Sebastian if he considered 'contra' - to be income. 'I'm not sure,' he responded. 'It's not something I've ever thought about. I hire accountants who've been instructed to do everything by the book. You don't buy a dog and bark yourself.'             The court case pitted two men who were once extremely close against each other and dragged in their wives, who had also been friends. Day is pictured left with Sebastian  Sebastian also had to contend with an email he sent to Day describing the fans of Westlife singer Shane Filan as being 'fat older women'. Sebastian had been reluctant to support the Irish boy band star on a 2017 tour because his appearance would not be 'the right fit'. 'I said something which wasn't great, something about feral old women or something,' he told the court. In another sideshow to the trial, Jules Sebastian repeatedly denied her husband was a violent man when she was quizzed about an incident in the couple's home in 2012. Mrs Sebastian had rung her husband about an intruder she said was attempting to enter the couple's house at Maroubra in Sydney's south-east. Her husband confronted the young man and there was a physical altercation but he denied headbutting the young man, although he told friends he had. Day sought an apprehended violence order against Sebastian eight years later, citing his 'violent history'. It was two days after the AVO was served that Sebastian went to police with his complaint that Day had withheld money from him. Day had told police he received a phone call in May 2020 in which someone said:  'Guy Sebastian wants you f***ed'. 'Two weeks ago he sent emails to my wife trying to intimidate her,' Day claimed. Three weeks ago someone came on my property and let down my car tyres.' Sebastian told the court he had never done anything to threaten Day or his wife and had no knowledge of anyone else having done so. Day eventually withdrew the AVO. Judge Gartelmann ordered Day, who has already indicated he would appeal his conviction, repay $624,675. He will be eligible for parole on May 16, 2025. <div class="art-ins mol-factbox news" data-version="2" id="mol-5dda9ed0-660d-11ed-9661-bd638c7eb25d" website Sebastian&apos;s manager is jailed after high-stakes trial
